I have discovered a new element.
It has 13.4 protons, 8 neutrons, and 13 to 14 elections.
Every time that it gains or loses an electron, the element switches charge, which happens every 45 minutes, unless David Muir is doing the news. Then they remain stable for the duration, so as to not interrupt.
The protons and neutrons are made up of q-arks, which come in 2 flavors: strangers and things.
I call this new element Redicu-lisium.
⚛️ How does the biggest #particleaccelerator help to understand the smallest building blocks of #matter?
Ass. Profs. Kristof De Bruyn & Ann-Kathrin Perrevoort use the #LargeHadronCollider @CERN to collide #protons with the aim to discover unexplained phenomena. 💥

Sour Taste Is the Flavor of Protons

Students at #SNOLAB are starting to engage in our common orientation for research experiences. One particle that comes up really early is the #muon. Students often don't learn about subatomic particle properties other than #electrons, #protons, and #neutrons until late in university. I made this video explicitly to help early-career students get familiar with the muon and see how it was the first direct test of the #relativity of time:

Para criar explosões de luz no espaço, utilizando um acelerador de partículas e o fenômeno de captura eletrônica para gerar neutrinos. Esses neutrinos, ao interagirem com xenônio líquido, produziriam luz intensa para comunicação, navegação, defesa planetária e iluminação. O autor também faz uma analogia entre os ciclos de extinção na Terra e eventos cósmicos como o Big Bang, Big Crunch e Big Bounce, sugerindo que a...
Lightning-Fast Alchemy: CERN Just Turned Lead Into Gold – Then Watched It Vanish
An experiment has measured gold formation from lead nuclei during near-miss collisions in the Large Hadron Collider.
These high-speed interactions trigger electromagnetic processes that occasionally eject three protons, yielding gold atoms. Billions are made, but only for a split second.
