Peter Higgs, an English theoretical physicist and professor at the University of Edinburgh, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013 for his pioneering research on the mass of subatomic particles. In 1964, he introduced the Higgs mechanism, a groundbreaking theory that elucidated the source of mass for elementary particles and foretold the presence of the Higgs boson. The identification of this particle at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 validated his hypothesis and established his lasting impact on the realm of particle physics.
