How the Higgs boson explains how particles gain their mass
In short: Evidence for the Higgs boson was found by CERN researchers in 2012. This fundamental particle is a game-changer in particle physics, providing the mechanism for how particles acquire mass.
This particle represents one of two fundamental types. Its discovery by CERN scientists in 2012 proved the mechanism by which particles gain mass, fundamentally shifting our understanding of particle physics.
