Higgs particles, also known as the “God Particle,” are theoretical units that could explain the origin of matter and the universe’s mass. The Large Hadron Collider may offer clues about their existence, but their elusive nature means they may never be found. Stephen Hawking hoped they wouldn’t be found to encourage further exploration, while Peter […]
Airborne particles, such as fog, dust, and smoke, can cause health problems and affect the Earth’s climate. They vary in size and can be natural or man-made. Airborne particle counters can measure their content, and particles less than 2.5 microns may be particularly harmful to humans. Airborne particles are very fine particles made up of […]
Subatomic particles are divided into two categories: Fermions and Bosons. Fermions are “stuff” particles like electrons and quarks, while Bosons mediate the four fundamental forces. Not all subatomic particles are fundamental, and there are many types, including mesons, hadrons, and glueballs. There are currently 18 known fundamental particles, but thousands of new ones could be […]
