Peter Higgs, a British physicist and Nobel Prize winner whose musings on the origins of mass launched a nearly five-decade, multibillion-dollar search for a subatomic particle – later known as the Higgs boson – that was said to hold the keys to understanding the nature of the universe, died Monday at his home in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was 94. The University of Edinburgh announced his death in a statement but did not cite a cause.

Peter Higgs, britský fyzik a nositeľ Nobelovej ceny, zomrel 8. apríla vo svojom dome v škótskom Edinburghu. Mal 94 rokov. Jeho úvahy o pôvode hmotnosti odštartovali takmer polstoročia trvajúce pátranie po subatomárnej častici - neskôr známej ako Higgsov bozón -, o ktorej sa hovorilo, že je kľúčom k pochopeniu podstaty vesmíru.

Roger Guillemin, a Nobel Prize-winning physician whose work on hormones produced by the brain helped lead to the development of the birth control pill and treatments for prostate and other cancers, and who engaged for decades in a famously scathing but productive scientific rivalry, died Feb. 21 at a senior-living facility in Del Mar, Calif. He was 100. His daughter Chantal Guillemin confirmed the death but did not know the specific cause.
