Peter Higgs: 'An incredible thing that happened in my lifetime'

Groundbreaking theoretical physicist Peter Higgs has died at age 94. He proposed the particle that gives other particles mass - now named the Higgs boson and discovered by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in 2012,
Higgs’s work explaining how elementary particles get their mass won him the Nobel prize in 2013 and formed a key ingredient in the standard model of particle physics. He died in his home in Edinburgh, UK, on 8 April after a short illness.
