Electrons DO NOT Spin

12th - Higher Ed
Quantum mechanics has a lot of weird stuff - but there’s thing that everyone agrees that no one understands. I’m talking about quantum spin. Let’s find out how chasing this elusive little behavior of the electron led us to some of the...

Is 'Perpetual Motion' Possible with Superfluids?

12th - Higher Ed
The weird rules of quantum mechanics lead to all sorts of bizarre phenomena on tiny scales— particles teleporting through walls or being in multiple places at once or simultaneously existing and not. Shame all this magical behavior...

The Equation That Explains (Nearly) Everything!

12th - Higher Ed
The Standard Model of particle physics is arguably the most successful theory in the history of physics. It predicts the results of experiments with a numerical precision unmatched by any other branch of science, and it does so almost...

This Might Be a Brand-New Kind of Star | Space News

12th - Higher Ed
Astronomers have theorized about an invisible star made up of theoretic particles in the past, but did we recently detect the gravitational waves of two of them colliding? Plus, extraterrestrial rocks from a decades-old mission keep...

Supersymmetric Particle Found?

12th - Higher Ed
With the large hadron collider running out of places to look for clues to a deeper theory of physics, we need a bigger particle accelerator. We have one - the galaxy.

The Physics of Superconductors

12th - Higher Ed
How a superconductor works. Everything from the physics and some of the history as well. Superconductors were discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. It was discovered because it was made possible to liquefy helium which produced...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics

12th - Higher Ed
Once you start learning about modern physics, you start to hear about weird particles like quarks and muons and neutrinos. What are all these things? Why are there so many? How do we know they exist? What do they do? Within lies the...
