Philip W. Anderson (1923–2020): Nobel winner who transformed condensed-matter and particle physics

"Philip Warren Anderson, who has died aged 96, led the development of condensed-matter physics. In 1977, he won a share of the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of electron localization, whereby disordered metals become insulators, and for his pioneering work on magnetism. His studies of superconductors led him to propose how the force carriers between subatomic particles, such as photons, acquire mass: the Anderson–Higgs mechanism is now part of the standard model of particle physics."
