Physicist Peter Higgs, who was a Nobel laureate, has passed away at the age of 94. In 1964, Higgs made the groundbreaking discovery of the existence of the Higgs boson. This discovery, however, was not officially confirmed until 2012 through experiments carried out at the Large Hadron Collider. Notably, in 2013, Higgs, along with Belgian physicist François Englert, who shared the Nobel Prize with him, was awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics for their significant contributions to the study of the Higgs boson. Born on May 29, 1929, in Newcastle upon Tyne, Great Britain, Higgs completed his undergraduate studies at Imperial College London in 1950, and from the early 1950s, he began his work at the University of Edinburgh.
