Higgs field, conceptual illustration. The Higgs field is a quantum field that according to the Standard Model of particle physics permeates all space. When a particle (spheres) interacts with the Higgs field it gains mass. Some particles, such as the photon (yellow), do not interact with the Higgs field and so are massless. | |
