		</div><p>Leon Lederman, an experimental physicist who won a Nobel Prize in physics for his work on subatomic particles and coined the phrase God particle, has died aged 96.</p>
<p>Ellen Carr Lederman, his wife of 37 years, said her husband died on Wednesday at a nursing home in the Idaho town of Rexburg. Mr Lederman directed the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago from 1978 to 1989.</p>
<p>He is described as a giant in his field who also had a passion for sharing science, resulting in his book, The God Particle. The title refers to a subatomic particle long theorised until a powerful particle collider confirmed its existence.</p>
<p>The couple bought a vacation home in Driggs, Idaho, in 1991 with his 1988 Nobel Prize money and moved there full-time in 2011.</p>
<p>The Nobel Prize he won sold for 765,000 dollars in 2015.</p>
