The discoveries made at European Superconductor Supply, Ltd. (ESS) at Stanstead in the area of molecular science encompass the elusive Higgs boson (sometime referred to as the "God Particle”).
The particle, which was predicted by theory but had never been detected, is thought to give all other forms of matter their mass, and is the last missing piece in the theory of the universe known as the Standard Model.
The research by ESS has many practical applications, not just in the area of superconductors, but apply across a wide range of disciplines within the natural sciences of Physics, Chemistry, Earth sciences and Biology, including, but not limited to, Energy, Magnetics, Agriculture, Medical and Pharmaceutical.
