Solar Neutrino Problem

Physics; Particle physics

The number of neutrinos observed to be coming from the sun is much less than the number predicted based on our understanding of the sun's inner workings. This discrepancy is known as the solar ...

Special Relativity

Physics; Particle physics

Einstein discovered that time and space are interconnected. Height, width, length, and time make up the dimensions of space-time. The famous equation E=mc2 is a consequence of this theory.

One of four known fundamental forces (the others are the weak force, electromagnetism and gravity). The strong force is felt only by quarks and gluons, and is responsible for binding quarks together ...

Z-boson

Physics; Particle physics

A gauge boson with no electric charge. It mediates the weak neutral current. It was studied in spectacular detailed by experiments at LEP and the SLC.

Parlour trick

Physics; Particle physics

In quantum physics, this is a phrase used to describe the seemingly magical feat of putting a subatomic particle in two places at once. The experiment was carried out by two physicists, Serge Haroche ...
