The Structure of Matter The Standard Model of Elementary Particles
... The Higgs Particle or Higgs boson: a boson-like force mediator, but does not actually mediate any force; explains the mass of other particles, including the W and Z bosons; not known if this particle is elementary; was tentatively confirmed in 2013 to be positively charged and to have zero spin. ...

... charged W particles and one Z particle. They did not sit well with the light-footed photon. How could the electroweak force, which unifies electromagnetic and weak forces, come about? The Standard Model was threatened. This is where Englert, Brout and Higgs entered the stage with the ingenious mech ...

Particle Physics
... there is a di↵erent kind of field for each particle in Nature. An electron field, several quark fields, and so on. What happens is that ripples in this field get tied up in knots by virtue of quantum mechanics. It is those ripples that we identify as particles. ...

String Theory
... Quantum Gravity, the strings exist near Planck length (10^-33cm) Multiple types of string theory exist, and are classified by open/closed strings and also supersymmetry. (bosons and fermions) Different string theories require different spacetime dimensions to work—Range from 10 to 26 ...

The Sub-Atomic Particle * J
... Thomson presented his new theory of the model of the atom: the Plum Pudding Model. In this model, Thomson theorized that the bulk of the atom is a mass of positive charge while electrons are uniformly scattered throughout. While the Plum Pudding Model is no longer accepted as accurate, it helps to m ...

In it, under the proper conditions, matter and energy can literally materialize out of what we used to think of as absolutely nothing. The vacuum ...

Electric and magnetic effects are caused by the relative positions and movements of charged particles of matter. When a charge is stationary (static), it produces electrostatic forces on charged objects, and when ...
