The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2013 to: François Englert (Université Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium), Peter W. Higgs (University of Edinburgh, UK), for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle by ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.
