Higgs and Englert Win Nobel Prize in Physics
Francois Englert and Peter Higgs win the 2013 Nobel Prize for theoretical work on how particles acquire mass and for predicting the Higgs boson. Both researchers, from Belgium and Britain, conducted independent work that underpins the Standard Model. The award follows CERN’s confirmation of the particle’s existence and honors their decades long efforts.
