From the classical models of the 18th century to the quantum revolution of the 20th century, our understanding of atomic structure has evolved. With its probabilistic nature, the quantum mechanical model has fundamentally reshaped our perception of atoms. This article explores the origins and fundamentals of this groundbreaking model.
A crucial turning point in particle physics occurred in 2012 when the Higgs Boson was discovered at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Since that time, the ATLAS and CMS teams have been meticulously examining the characteristics of this unusual particle and trying to determine the various ways in which it is created and degrades into other particles.
