Particle physics on your coffee table! Via Symmetry Breaking, this is a wonderful pop-up book for adults and kids that illustrates CERN’s Large Hadron Collider and the ATLAS apparatus that is trying to detect particles that existed in the very briefest of moments after the big bang. ATLAS went online a little more than a year ago.
The book is supposed to go on sale Nov. 9, and can be ordered now through the book’s publisher, Papadakis, or through Amazon.
