    Journey from Einstein's childhood compass to the underground cathedral where scientists discovered the universe's missing piece - the Higgs boson that gives all particles mass.

    Smashing Atoms: The Hunt for Higgs

    Smashing Atoms: The Hunt for Higgs最佳语录

    “

    The Higgs field is literally what makes the material world possible; without it, electrons would be massless and wouldn't be bound to atomic nuclei, leaving the universe as a soup of particles zipping around at the speed of light.
