Not a day goes by when I don’t see an article on
Higgs boson. The entire science world is
buzzing with this one particular fundamental particle. So what makes this mysterious particle so

particle as hints to their existence were observed in the year 2011.
The infographic below should probably give you a brief idea on what is a Higgs boson and how matter acquires mass by its interaction with the Higgs field.
