Learn about and revise the how heating effects particles and what happens during changes of states with GCSE Bitesize Physics.
This series explores how different states of matter – solid, liquid and gas – changes and how we use them in our everyday lives.
Learn about states of matter and see what happens when they change with this interactive activity designed for the GCSE AQA Trilogy specification.
An experiment with a single electron, trapped for months on end, produced one of the most precise tests yet of the standard model of particle physics.
The study heralds a new era of research into the properties and structure of matter — including us humans.
The Standard Model is the modern physical understanding of three of the four forces of nature: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.
How matter’s hidden complexity unleashed the power of nuclear physics In the last century, physicists have revealed a complex world of fundamental particles ...
For the first time, physicists have used an equation to map the path quantum particles are most likely to take when changing from one quantum state to another.
Scientists have spotted a famously elusive particle: The axion - first predicted 42 years ago as an elementary particle in extensions of the standard model of particle physics.
A discovery about muons, a type of subatomic particle, could blow particle physics wide open. Here's what the news really means.
This week, this enormous scientific facility, ten years in the making, will begin its hunt for the most elusive particles in ...
