Matter is made up of small particles called atoms. Atoms can exist on their own or together as molecules. Atoms are very small and around 100,000,000 of them side by side would measure 1 centimetre.

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

As a physicist working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?”. Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

There was a huge amount of excitement when the Higgs boson was first spotted back in 2012—a discovery that bagged the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2013. The particle completed the so-called standard ...

Although CERN’s Large Hadron Collider has made a lasting impact on particle physics, it hasn’t yet open up a whole new frontier of particle physics like some scientists expected. One scientist ...

Abstract: This paper presents a path generation approach based on PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm. It analyses related work about group animation and PSO algorithms first. Then, based on ...
