Breakthrough: Spectacular stories of scientific discovery from the Higgs particle to black holes

His nine case studies include Le Verrier a€?findinga€ Neptune, Maxwella€s electromagnetic waves and Diraca€s anti-particles, as well as Fred Hoylea€s less well-known suggestion that stars create carbon.
