Higgs field, conceptual illustration
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., by MARK GARLICK/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
