Franklin is co-leader of a group attempting to measure the w particle, while Huth is studying the top quark. Both are working with 400 scientists in Japan,the U.S. and Italy investigating the StandardModel of electromagnetic theory.
If U.S. forces attack the Serbs, the Americans will try to minimize casualties by using top-secret electronic and chemical weapons tested during the Gulf War. Cruise missiles generating devastating electromagnetic fields will knock out power plants and transmission towers as they fly over them, while destroying all data stored...
Now a group of scientists at the California Institute of Technology has discovered that magnetite is found in human brains as well. That could eventually explain why some people have a better sense of direction -- perhaps they have more magnetite. The presence of magnetically sensitive crystals in the brain could...
However, the two theories did not provide a complete explanation for the relationship between the weak and electromagnetic forces, says Georgi.
The W particle's involvement in creating forces is, therefore, similar to the involvement of photons in electromagnetic forces. Photons convey the force between charged particles, enabling the particles to act on each other at a distance.
