## Resource

Nobel laureate François Englert, co-founder of the Higgs mechanism that explains how particles gain mass, has died at 93. His groundbreaking 1964 theory—later confirmed by the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN—revolutionized our understanding of the universe’s fundamental forces. Alongside Robert Brout, Englert proposed a cosmic field that breaks symmetry to give mass, a concept that earned him the 2013 Nobel Prize. A survivor of Nazi persecution in WWII, his life embodied resilience and intellectual brilliance, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape modern physics.
