The "God particle" is a nickname given to the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle that was theorized to exist in the 1960s by British physicist Peter Higgs and others.
The Higgs boson was finally discovered in 2012 by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland, through the efforts of thousands of scientists and engineers working on the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The discovery of the Higgs boson was a major scientific breakthrough that confirmed the existence of the Higgs field, which is responsible for giving particles mass.
