The principle of the experiment. 12 main discoveries of physics of elementary particles. Shihi S.

You are in front of you is an amazing history of physics of the 20th century, told after 12 experiments that changed our world. For millennia, people asked questions about the nature of matter. In the XX century, this curiosity led to a real explosion of scientific discoveries that changed the course of history.

The author introduces us to people who, thanks to a combination of genius, perseverance and luck, put these innovative experiments: from flights on balloons in search of new particles, to a happy discovery of X -rays in a German laboratory; from the race for the splitting of the atomic nucleus to searching for the third generation of matter.

You will learn how these outstanding experiments have changed the life of mankind, giving it radio, television, MRI scanners, radar equipment, microwave stoves and chips including for our smartphones.
