The latest issue of the Irish science magazine Science Spin looks at “a brief history of matter, from Ancient Greece to the Higgs boson”.
Recreating the sort of conditions that existed just after the Big Bang helps to explain how the Universe came into being, and discovering the Higgs boson means we have found a way to explain why there is gravity.
Also in this issue are articles on the rise of “green chemistry”, separating myths from scientific facts, Irish fossils, how geologists have been sampling the soils of Dublin, and student projects for the BT Young Scientist & Technology exhibition.
