3D-printable Quark Puzzle
Quarks are fundamental particles in the Standard Model of particle physics. They make up the protons and neutrons that we are familiar with, but also a zoo of other more exotic particle systems like pions and kaons. Quarks have never been isolated; they always form groups of two or three. But what are the rules…

Be a physicist- Dans la peau dun chercheur-En el piel de un investigator
At CERN, some 10,000 physicists are investigating elementary particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The schoolchildren taking part in the project conduct investigations, just like the physicists, on sealed boxes containing unknown objects. To work out what’s inside, they have to proceed through a series of hypotheses and experiments. Throughout the project,…
