1957年，杨振宁先生获得诺贝尔物理学奖，两年后他受邀在美国普林斯顿大学（Princeton University）为凡纽兴讲座（Vanuxem Lectures）作演讲，演讲受众主要为大学中对科学感兴趣的听众，Elementary Particles: A Short History of Some Discoveries in Atomic Physics就是由演讲讲稿略加修节而成。在演讲中， ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

RECENTLY J. Barnóthy 1 has proposed an explanation of the elementary particles (protons, electrons, etc.) in terms of serial universes, each enclosed in one of higher order. The elementary particles ...

Vol. 278, No. 1374, A Discussion on Recent European Contributions to the Development of the Physics of Elementary Particles (Apr. 7, 1964), pp. 416-424 (9 pages) The Royal Society is a self-governing ...

In September 2024, physicists made a discovery at CERN that could change how we understand the universe. For the first time, ...

The atomistic paradigm of high energy physics cannot anymore be dismissed because the proposed elementary particles are too many (and, hence, it is claimed, they do not provide a simple account of ...

In the periodic table, no element is more important than another one. But in the Standard Model—a theory that explains the smallest constituents of the universe and the forces that govern them, minus ...

So much happened in the earliest moments of the universe. Elementary particles appeared, the first nuclei of hydrogen and helium, and fluctuations of energy and matter set into motion the formation of ...

Before the Big Bang, space-time as we know it did not exist. So how was it born? The process of creating normal space-time from an earlier state dominated by quantum gravity has been studied for years ...

Today's physicists are struggling with a quandary. They have accepted two separate theories that explain how the universe works: Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes the ...
