Higgs Boson
Turning scientists into rockstars.
Francois Englert, from Belgium, and Peter W. Higgs, from the United Kingdom, are the 2013 winners.
Newly detected particle could supply missing piece of cosmic puzzle.
Results from the Large Hadron Collider have confirmed the existence of a new heavy particle, possibly the Higgs boson.
Hypothesized nearly 50 years ago, the Higgs particles would permeate space and gives other particles their mass.
Guido Tonelli, spokesperson of another Higgs experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, describes the results.
Physicists at CERN provide an update on the search for the Higgs boson.
