This video provides a brief overview of the structure of atoms and the three main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. It explains how these particles are arranged within the atom and their respective charges. Atoms...

In this video, we learn about atoms and their subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, and electrons. We also explore how these particles combine to form different elements and how the periodic table is structured. The video provides a...

In 1991, a subatomic particle smashed into Earth's atmosphere traveling faster than anything humans can replicate. It's the most energetic particle detected to date, and maybe even the fastest (except light itself). Astronomers call it...

Today, cosmic rays are used to understand things like supernovas, but in the early 1900s, they helped us discover brand-new subatomic particles long before the first accelerators.

How does the Higgs give mass to particles? How do elementary particles gain mass? All mass is Energy. 99% of the mass of an atom is contained in the binding energy within the nucleus. But about 1% of your mass is...

In 1991 a single atomic nucleus slammed into our atmosphere with the intensity of a macroscopic object. It's been named The Oh-My-God particle.

Particle physics isn't simple, but it was much more confusing before physicists knew about quarks.

Upon viewing the Exploring the Building Blocks of Matter video series, students will be able to do the following: Understand that the quest to better understand the building blocks of matter has transpired over the past several thousand...

In this video, we'll explore the differences between the proton, neutron, and electron. We'll learn about their characteristics, and how they interact with matter.

De Broglie's equation, formulated by Louis de Broglie in 1924, introduces the concept of wave-particle duality, suggesting that all matter exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties. The equation is expressed as λ=h/p; λ is...

What is the meaning of superposition and wave/particle duality? What do quantum particles really look like, when we are NOT looking?

All quantum particles exist in a state of superposition prior to any...

A particle accelerator is a machine that accelerates particles. More specifically, it accelerates elementary particles, like protons and electrons, at extremely high speeds—almost 99.99% of the speed of light. These particles are then...

Join NSF for a discussion with David Kaplan and Monica Dunford, the respective producer and featured physicist of the documentary, Particle Fever, being released in theaters around the United States this month. High school science...

Is teleportation possible? In the Star Trek transporter, the atoms in your body get converted to their subatomic particles – protons, neutrons, and electrons, and are transmitted as a stream of particles to...

The Large Hadron Collider, the world's longest particle accelerator, is exciting scientists around the world who hope it can recreate the moments just after the Big Bang. Physics - Universe - Learning Points. The Large Hadron Collider is...

What is the God Particle? How does the Higgs Boson work? If you were a fish, would you know that the entire world in which you existed was contained in a substance called water? You probably wouldn’t know it because,...

We have built beautiful particle accelerators in the search for particles that are even more elementary than electrons, protons, and neutrons. The accelerators smash subatomic particles at enormous speeds, which causes them to shatter...

No one has ever conclusively seen a proton turn into other, lighter particles, but fifty million liters of water in Japan might change that and our ideas about subatomic particles forever.

Physicists are used to the idea that subatomic particles behave according to the bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, completely different to human-scale objects. In a breakthrough experiment, Aaron O'Connell has blurred that distinction...
