slash UK slash AI for people. Welcome to this special Nobel Prize edition of Science Talk,

the podcast of Scientific American. I'm Steve Murski. This year's prize is about something very small that makes all the difference.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2030 Nobel Prize in Physics

to Professor Francois-Angler at University Libre de Brussels, Belgium, and Professor Peter Higgs

at University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

Stefan Normark, permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, at a press conference

shortly before 7 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time this morning.

And the Academy Citation runs for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles,

and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental

particle by the Atlas and Semiase experiments at sand large hydrogen collider.

Professor Gunnar Ingemann will not give us a short summary in English, please.

This is a triumph, not only for Professor Angler and Professor Higgs, but for theoretical physics more generally and actually the whole research field of elementary particle physics.

It also illustrates the scientific method, namely to formulate theories based on mathematics in attempts to understand the laws of nature

and testing them against experimental measurements. In 1964, Franz deGlert, together with his now

deceased colleague Robert Brought, and Peter Higgs proposed independently of each other

the theory to solve the fundamental problem of how particles acquire mass.

Their theory became a cornerstone of the standard model for elementary particle physics,
