Renormalization group without any math:
For the longest time we discovered more fundamental structures in nature. The further we zoom in the more new structure we see.
The discovery of quarks is a good example
Molecules → Atoms → nuclei → protons → quarks

If spotting one #Higgsboson is interesting, what happens when you spot two at the same time? In a new analysis, physicists at the ATLAS Experiment at @CERN are looking for Higgs-pairs in the complex soup of particles created by the LHC. Learn more ⤵️ atlas.cern/Updates/Briefing/…

Happy Eclipse Day! These adorable preschool moons each demonstrated the eclipse by passing their cake-pop moon in front of the sun torch, making a shadow across the US. Cake for the win! #TheMoonIsDelish

Is everyone getting excited for cake... err.. we mean the eclipse? Here's a cake pop eclipse diaorama to whet your appetite for the eclipse later today!
The moon will pass in between the sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. ☀️🌑🌍

Are you celebrating #PiDay with pie ... or do you prefer cake?
Researchers have designed a robot that can create and cook a cake with more than π ingredients. Learn more: scim.ag/6dA @NewsfromScience

Is there a better way to celebrate #DarkMatterDay than with a chocolate pie chart pie that shows the fractions of visible matter, dark matter, and dark energy in the universe?

There are 3 main ways that scientists are trying to study dark matter: make it, break it, or shake it. “Make it” experiments smash particles together and look at the particle debris for dark matter. 🧵(1/3)

Made a solar system of cupcakes from a kit. (I was impressed it gave instructions on how to do the Great Red Spot.) Getting the colours right was tricky with random quantities of icing, and no artistic talent. Nothing compared to what @PhysicsCakes gets up to.

Q: What’s a mathematician’s favourite dessert?
A: Pi!
How are you celebrating #piDay2023? We like to mark the occasion with physics pies!

Thoughts and prayers to the woman on my @easyJet flight asking everyone around her questions like “Is there really this little legroom? Where am I supposed to put my bag? I’ve never flown anything lower than business class before.”

This weekend, are you ready to dust off your #LEGO sets for the International LEGO Day? 🧩
For some inspiration, take a look at our LHC built with LEDs! 🤩These LEDs represents particles being accelerated to nearly the speed of light, which then collide to form more particles!

Celebrating the acceptance of our paper by turning it into biscuit form again! 👩🍳🌟
Turns out the added radial velocities in Gaia DR3 and this many colours in your plots makes it a rather time consuming task! 😂
