    Remembering physicist Peter Higgs – podcast

    The Nobel prize-winning British physicist Peter Higgs has died aged 94. Higgs theorised the existence of the Higgs boson particle, part of an attempt to explain why the building blocks of the universe have mass, five decades before its existence was confirmed in 2012. Ian Sample and Madeleine Finlay look back on the life and legacy of a giant of science
  • Prof Peter Higgs in his old office at Edinburgh University with a description of the Higgs model, written by him on the blackboard.
