Gilad Perez links the Higgs boson to the puzzling pattern of the fermion masses.
The masses of the Higgs boson and the top quark hint that there must be physics beyond the SM that prevents the universe from decaying into a new vacuum state, argues John Ellis.
Ten years of experimental scrutiny by ATLAS and CMS strongly suggest the Higgs boson originates from the minimal Higgs sector required by the Standard Model.
Either new particles are keeping the Higgs boson light, or the universe is oddly fine-tuned for our existence. Nathaniel Craig goes down the rabbit hole of the electroweak hierarchy problem.
In an excerpt from his new book Elusive: How Peter Higgs Solved the Mystery of Mass, Frank Close recounts the story of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics.
There are many different ways to explain the cosmic matter–antimatter asymmetry, says Géraldine Servant, but the Higgs boson plays a key role in essentially all of them.
Sally Dawson explains how the co-dependence of theory and experiment is driving a deeper understanding of the Higgs boson.
The CMS collaboration has substantially improved on its measurement of the top-quark mass.
ATLAS reviews recent searches for exotic decays of the Higgs boson and for new heavy particles that decay into it.
