Open-Source Science: The New Norm The discovery of the Higgs boson is of course a monumental achievement. But also noteworthy is how the physics community has evolved to get things done - and what this trajectory suggests for other scientific fields and fast-changing industries. Let's take a quick look at the history: supercomputers arrived in the 1970s, leading to an explosion of data and the ability to aggregate it with far greater ease. This, combined with the soaring costs of infrastructure like CERN's high-energy accelerator, contributed to new behaviors across the field. Researchers in particle physics and allied fields like cosmology began to see possibilities for working in bigger teams, beyond a single lab or host institution.
