particles (nuclear physics)

Examines the types, functions, and basic principles of particle accelerators, both linear and circular, and their application in the search for the basic building blocks of nature.

Discusses the search for the ultimate individual parts of matter, including the discoveries of the atom, the electron, the antiparticles, and the quark.

Traces the scientific search for sypersymmetry, the framework in which theoretical physicists have sought to answer some of the questions left open by the standard model of particle physics.

Explores scientific advancements made through observations, theories, and tests in physics; discussing topics such as nuclear and particle physics, quantum mechanics, relativity, and cosmology. Includes photographs, illustrations, a list of resources, a periodic table of the elements, and an index.

A comprehensive history of ideas and an exploration of modern science and recent advances in particle physics and cosmology.

Contains seven scientific essays that address topics of extreme physics, including black holes, inconstant constants, the String Theory, and more.
