Simplifying the Higgs

What is the Higgs boson and why does it matter?

Armed with a bag of sugar, some ping-pong balls and a couple of catering trays, the Guardian's Science Corespondant Ian Sample deconstructs the Higgs mechanism.

You can find a collection of great videos on the Higgs and LHC in our recent blog post, but if it's science demonstrations you're after then you can watch Ri technician Andy Marmery graple with a whole host demos in our Tales of the Prep Room collection.
