Francois Englert and Peter Higgs at the Higgs boson discovery announcement
CERN press conference in Geneva, Switzerland - 04 Jul 2012
Francois Englert (born 1932, left) and Peter Higgs (born 1929, right), Belgian and British theoretical physicists, at the Higgs boson discovery announcement, 4th July 2012, at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory). Data collected by the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and ATLAS (a torodial LHC apparatus) experiments at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN have shown a new particle at around 125 giga electron volts (GeV). Further analysis will determine if the particle is the long sought for Higgs boson, a fundamental particle that is thought to give other particles mass. Peter Higgs predicted its existence in 1964. Englert, along with Higgs and Robert Brout, explained how the Higgs field confers mass on other particles through their interaction with it. This is known as the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism.

Peter Higgs, British physicist
Peter Higgs (b.1929), British theoretical physicist. In 1964, Higgs predicted the existence of a new type of fundamental particle, called the Higgs boson, that is thought to give other particles mass. This particle is required by many of the Grand Unified Theories (or GUTs) which hope to explain three of the fundamental forces (electromagnetism and the weak and the strong nuclear forces) in a single unified theory. The Higgs boson is yet to be detected experimentally, but it is one of the main challenges of high-energy particle accelerators such as the large hadron collider (LHC) at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory).

Grandparents create mini Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car for granddaughter, Isle Wight, Britain - 16 Apr 2013

A Truly Scrumptious Car For A 3-Year-Old
Three-year-old Indiya Tasker is seen driving a truly scumptious car - a miniature Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car built by her grandparents.
Nick Pointing spent hundreds of hours creating the magical car, which includes fold-out wings, with the help of wife Carolyn.
It's based on the world-famous vehicle driven by Dick Van Dyke in the blockbuster movie of 1968.
And Nick and Carolyn have some experience in this area.
In 2007 they built a full-sized Chitty - using an old Land Rover chassis - which they drove to Australia, raising over GBP 10,000 for various charities.
Nick said: "Indiya loves the film and thinks we have the real movie car in our garage!
"So I decided the best birthday present we could give her would be a scaled-down version, that she could safely drive herself.
"Originally I thought of a simple peddle car, but as you can see, I got more ambitious."
The mini-Chitty took two years to build at the Pointing's home on the Isle of Wight.
Nick concentrated on the engineering while Carolyn, 48, made the red leather chesterfield seats and varnished the wooden boat tail.
Nick added: "The car is 11 feet long and built on a ride-on lawn mower chassis, with wings fitted where the cutting blades used to be.
"The boat-shaped rear is made from hardwood boat-building timber, with the bonnet cut from sheet aluminium".
The gleaming, vintage brass front headlamps cost just GBP 20 at a local auto jumble. Other parts were adapted from anything the couple could find.
"The front and rear fenders are built from a lounge bench seat, with the rear lights made from the inner workings of old Land Rover brakes," Nick said.
"Brass and red leather came from an auto jumble and other parts were adapted from anything I could find as in the spirit of the film.

A Truly Scrumptious Car For A 3-Year-Old
Three-year-old Indiya Tasker is seen driving a truly scumptious car - a miniature Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car built by her grandparents.
Nick Pointing spent hundreds of hours creating the magical car, which includes fold-out wings, with the help of wife Carolyn.
It's based on the world-famous vehicle driven by Dick Van Dyke in the blockbuster movie of 1968.
And Nick and Carolyn have some experience in this area.
In 2007 they built a full-sized Chitty - using an old Land Rover chassis - which they drove to Australia, raising over GBP 10,000 for various charities.
Nick said: "Indiya loves the film and thinks we have the real movie car in our garage!
"So I decided the best birthday present we could give her would be a scaled-down version, that she could safely drive herself.
"Originally I thought of a simple peddle car, but as you can see, I got more ambitious."
The mini-Chitty took two years to build at the Pointing's home on the Isle of Wight.
Nick concentrated on the engineering while Carolyn, 48, made the red leather chesterfield seats and varnished the wooden boat tail.
Nick added: "The car is 11 feet long and built on a ride-on lawn mower chassis, with wings fitted where the cutting blades used to be.
"The boat-shaped rear is made from hardwood boat-building timber, with the bonnet cut from sheet aluminium".
The gleaming, vintage brass front headlamps cost just GBP 20 at a local auto jumble. Other parts were adapted from anything the couple could find.
"The front and rear fenders are built from a lounge bench seat, with the rear lights made from the inner workings of old Land Rover brakes," Nick said.
"Brass and red leather came from an auto jumble and other parts were adapted from anything I could find as in the spirit of the film.

Someone wearing the same dress as them!? It's enough to depress any fashion forward starlet.
Picking an outfit already seen gracing the body of another is an occupational hazard when you're a celeb.
But when there's only so many designers looks to go around identikit stars are sometimes inevitable.
And when the inevitable happens comparisons are simply unavoidable.
All a star can do is cross their fingers and hope that they come out top of the frocks.
After all, it doesn't matter who wore it first - it's all about who wore it best.
