After the discovery 💫 Over 12 years ago, the ATLAS Experiment at CERN and CMS Experiment at CERN at the #LHC announced the discovery of a particle with characteristics consistent with those of the #HiggsBoson. The discovery was recognised with the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013, awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs for their theoretical work. Since then, physicists have continued studying this mysterious particle to learn more about our #Universe. Watch Haider (ATLAS) and Cristina (CMS) sha
