"Peter Higgs, Renowned Physicist Behind Higgs Boson Theory, Passes Away at 94"
Peter Higgs, the Nobel prize-winning physicist known for discovering the Higgs boson, has passed away at the age of 94. His groundbreaking work in 1964, which explained how the boson gives particles their mass, was confirmed by experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. Higgs, a member of the Royal Society, spent most of his career at Edinburgh University and was honored with the establishment of the Higgs centre for theoretical physics in 2012. His legacy in particle physics and his modest, yet profound, approach to teaching and explaining physics have left a lasting impact on the scientific community.
