About The Particle Adventure
The Particle Adventure is an interactive introduction to the world of quarks, the Higgs boson, neutrinos, antimatter, the fundamental forces, extra dimensions, dark matter, accelerators and particle detectors.
Science is shown in action through topics such as "How Do We Know Any of This?" and "Unsolved Mysteries". One can skim through or take the time to dig into topics of special interest. The journey is filled with cartoons, animation, news of recent physics discoveries, quizzes, pop-up windows, and quotes.
While the content is guided by renowned physicists, the Particle Adventure has a look that reflects its student designers. There is student artwork and student humor. Indeed, a big part of the site's appeal is its reliance on humor, thanks to the talents of students.
This app was produced by the Particle Data Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The PDG produces the Review of Particle Physics.
The Particle Adventure website (at http://ParticleAdventure.org) receives about 5 million hits a year. It has received awards/recognition from Scientific American, the American Association for the Advancement Science, the American Physical Society, the US Dept. of Energy, the Discovery Channel, Science Magazine, Education World, USA Today, New Scientist, the Exploratorium, National Academy Press, etc.

This app is amazing. I am reading it all over again and while doing that i find a real urge to search things from other pages in order to connect things better. Without a search button its quite difficult. Please add

This app builds on fantastic information and immaculate way of deliverance of knowledge yet it failed to get more score than a star because I can't change view and size of the page and much gets hidden and cut by the boundaries like navigation arrows. I really atop participate, however, effort they put to develop the app and bringing the knowledge to ordinary people.

Very useful app for anyone. A great brush-up for particle physicists but also simple enough for the curious minded. Just a few recommendations. It would be nice to include the swipe to change page and also to include the ability to remember where the viewer was before leaving app. Maybe a more extensive contents page would help. Apart from these recommendations the app is just superb.

As a Physicist, this is a great tool for explaining to other non-physics scientists my work. And anyone else who wants to learn a little more. Plus it's a great reference for me when I need it.
