Want to know more about what particle physics is like, told by others other than only me? Our group's Instagram account gives a voice to a very wide group of scientists

For example, we have measured if there is anything inside quarks. And Andreas Hinzmann, one of the authors, made this nice post about that result https://www.instagram.com/p/DW6hU-PjnJK/?igsh=OGM3dmFnZ2Q0eGV2 #scicomm #wisskomm #quarks #elementaryparticles

Particle physics by CMS experiment at DESY on Instagram: "In our current understanding of nature, visible matter is made of quarks. Quarks are considered to be point-like particles bound together with the strong nuclear force, one of four fundamental forces in the standard model of particle physics. However, one may wonder: Are quarks really the smallest building blocks of nature? Scientists from CMS - DESY try to answer this question ✨ 📍 For more info read the CMS briefing from April 07! https://cms.cern/news/whats-inside-quarks-cms-looks-deeper"

There’s an analysis of where Monarch: Legacy of Monsters fits in the franchise’s themes. > > >Our relationship with Godzilla changes from movie to movie and age to age.
