Higgs boson scientists win the Nobel Prize for Physics

2013-10-08 16:30:12| Extremetech

Peter Higgs, the theoretical physicist after which the Higgs boson is named, has been awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physics. Higgs shares the prize with Francois Englert, another theoretical physicist who reached similar conclusions about the Higgs boson around the same time, in the mid-'60s. Higgs and Englert will share a prize fund of around $1 million, while CERN -- which discovered the Higgs boson last year -- will receive nothing.
