Peter Higgs, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who discovered a new particle known as the Higgs boson, has died aged 94.

Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013 for his work in 1964 showing how the particle he discovered helps bind the universe together by giving other particles their mass.

After a series of experiments starting in 2008, his theory was confirmed by physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider at Cern in Switzerland in 2012. He shared the Nobel Prize with François Englert, a Belgian theoretical physicist, whose work which in 1964 also directly contributed to the great discovery.

A Fellow of the Royal Society and an Honorary Fellow, Higgs spent most of his professional life at the University of Edinburgh, which established the Higgs Center for Theoretical Physics in his honor in 2012.

“Peter Higgs was an extraordinary individual – a truly gifted scientist whose vision and imagination have enriched our knowledge of the world around us. His pioneering work has motivated thousands of scientists and his legacy will continue to inspire many more for generations to come," said Professor and University Principal Peter Mathieson.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards the Nobel Prize, said at the time that the standard model of physics that underpins the scientific understanding of the universe “is based on the existence of a special kind of particle: the Higgs particle. This particle originates from an invisible field that fills all space."

"Even when the universe seems empty, this field is there. Without it, we would not exist, because it is from contact with the field that particles gain mass. The theory proposed by Englert and Higgs describes this process.
