W-bosons are charged and the photons are uncharged, W-bosons have a non zero rest mass and photons hsve zero rest mass. Also the W-boson is the "exchange particle" in interactions involving the weak nuclear force, but photons are the exchange particle of the electromagentic force.

What could be in the higs Boson?
The Higgs Boson, if it exists, should be a massive point particle, so there should be nothing "in" it.
Can god fit in scientific story of higgs boson?
The Higgs Boson is called the "God" particle because it would help explain on of physics biggest mysteries: how gravity works. Can both God and the Higgs Boson exist? Yes, if God exists, then he could have created the Higgs Boson, like he created other particles.
Has the Higgs boson been found yet?
We are not sure if the theorized Higgs boson is real or not. If it is, it would be provide some support to ideas about what mass (and, therefore, gravity, which is associated mass) really is. We're still looking for experimental support that the Higgs boson is real, and now that the Large Hadron Collider is up and running, all (interested) eyes are on CERN and awaiting results.
What is looking for higgs Boson?
The two most prominent particle colliders that are looking for the Higgs boson are the Tevatron at FermiLab (although that one is going to close soon) and the LHC at CERN.
What do bosons do?
Bosons are subatomic particles which have integer spin and obey Bose-Einstein statistics. There can be more than one boson at a given point in space with the same quantum state. Bosons are the force carriers. Known bosons are the photon (light), the gluon (strong force), the neutral weak force carrier, and the charged weak force carrier.
What is a photon How does it work What is a photon's part in magnetism?
What: a photon is the boson that carries the electromagnetic force.How: I'm not sure there is an answer to this, the particle is a boson and carries a specific quanta of energy.What part: it carries the electromagnetic force in both electric and magnetic interactions between the objects involved.
What is the opposite of a photon?
There is no known opposite of the photon. The photon is the basic unit of all electromagnetic radiation, just with different wavelengths, and the photon is a guage boson which mediates the electromagnetic force.
Which is a not a subatomic particle?
Examples: positron, photon, neutrino, muon, tau, Higgs boson etc.
What are subatomic particles called?
neutrons, protons and electrons, quarks (up, down, to, bottom, strange, charm), fermions, leptons, bosons (photon, W boson, Higgs boson, gluon, graviton).
What is the carrier of electromagnetism?
In quantum mechanics, electromagnetism is mediated by the gauge boson known as the virtual photon. In classical mechanics, it is a "light wave". Somewhere where the two play reasonably well together, it is a "real photon". EM energy has no "form", only models we apply to it. Saying it is like something big we have experience with, to convey some properties we recognize.
What Is the relationship between a Higgs boson and an atom?
The Higgs boson is analogous to other bosons (photon, muon, gluon, graviton, etc.) which couple forces. Atoms are composed of fermions bound together by exchanging various virtual bosons (e.g. electrons are bound to the nucleus by exchanging virtual photons, the protons and neutrons in the nucleus are bound together by exchanging virtual muons, the quarks are bound inside protons and neutrons by exchanging virtual gluons), no real bosons of any type exist in an atom (although some atoms are themselves bosons even though they are entirely composed of fermions).
What are some examples of bosons?
Bosons are the carriers of forces. Examples are the photon, gluon, W and Z bosons, and the not yet found Higgs boson and the graviton.
Who discovered how lights travels?
As a result of the work of both Einstein and Bose, light has been identified as both a wave known as electromagnetic radiation and as a particle called a photon. The photon is a force carrier known as a "boson", which has no mass. It can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted when in contact with any medium. Like sound, the speed of light slightly varies between when it is in our atmosphere and when it is in space.
Is a photon a particle of light?
It's the basic unit of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. If you're asking if it's "light" in the weight sense, yes. It has a rest mass of zero; you can't get lighter than that.
What is the mass of a boson?
Because the boson is thought of as a force carrier and not matter, it doesn't have chemical potential. A link can be found below.Actually, this is true only when their number is not conserved... the spin of the boson is m=(+or-)1,2,3,... any integer.So the chemical potential is zero only for particles who are not conserved (photon...)Otherwise, it may be huge... and quite often negative... as in the classical limit, when the number of accessible state tend to be considerable, the chemical potential will tend toward negative infinity.
What is navy boson's mate?
The Navy Boson's mate is the Captain.... the Boson is the second in command...
What is a Z boson?
A Z boson is fundamental particle - a gauge boson which, together with the W boson, mediates the weak nuclear force. It has a charge of 0.
