A collection of experiments, projects, and articles that will help students understand particle collision and mass, kinetic energy, magnetic field, the Large Hadron Collider, and detection of the Higgs particle.

The speech given by Prof I. Waller at the presentation of the Nobel Prize to Robert Hofstadter. Details the work both of Hofstadter and of Rudolf Mossbauer, who shared the prize. Elegantly said, with plenty of scientific detail.

Join a group of middle-school students on a visit to a laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they experiment with "mystery mud" and learn about the relationships between magnetism, particle motion, and changes in...

An atom smasher, or particle accelerator, collides atomic nuclei together at extremely high energies, using engineering that exploits incredibly cold temperatures, very low air pressure, and hyperbolically fast speeds. Don Lincoln...

Electrical currents and voltage are defined and illustrated.

Learn all about space weather and solar wind. Comared to the energy of these storms, Hurricane Katrina was no comparison.

Resource explores what a pulsar is, as well as what is currently known about this phenomenon. Content includes a focus on x-ray observations of pulsars, and gamma-ray pulsars.
