Peter Higgs interview: 'I have this kind of underlying incompetence'
6 Dec 2013:Thirty-nine years after Peter Higgs identified the Higgs boson particle, he won the 2013 Nobel prize. Here he reveals he has never sent an email or browsed the web – and reckons no one would employ him nowadays

6 Apr 2014: Jon Butterworth: When a particle physicist describes something as "off mass-shell", they could be referring to a bit of quantum mechanics, or denouncing an unrealistic budget. Either way, it's a bit of jargon connecting Pythagoras to the LHC, via Einstein and Feynman

25 Mar 2014: Jon Butterworth: In accord with Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, short-lived particles have uncertain mass. So the Higgs boson, which gives mass to other particles, is uncertain about its own mass. New results from CMS at the CERN LHC have started to tell us how uncertain
