That's where the Higgs comes in,' Science news journalist Adrian Cho, who wrote about the discovery in the journal's latest issue, said.

'Mass must somehow emerge from interactions of the otherwise mass-less particles themselves. Finding the Higgs topped the list of most important discoveries of 2012 released by Science, a prestigious scientific journal, the 'Daily Mail' reported.

Scientists used the world's biggest atom smashing machine, the Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-French border, to track down the missing particle. Without the property of mass, the universe we live in could not exist. The boson is believed to give matter mass via an associated 'Higgs field' that permeates space. In July the team from the European nuclear research facility at Cern in Geneva announced the detection of a particle that fitted the description of the elusive Higgs. Scientists had been chasing the Higgs boson, nicknamed the ' God particle' for more than four decades.
