Physics Cakes

#DarkMatterCake on #DarkMatterDay

Renormalization group without any math: For the longest time we discovered more fundamental structures in nature. The further we zoom in the more new structure we see. The discovery of quarks is a good example Molecules → Atoms → nuclei → protons → quarks 🧵1/13

If spotting one #Higgsboson is interesting, what happens when you spot two at the same time? In a new analysis, physicists at the ATLAS Experiment at @CERN are looking for Higgs-pairs in the complex soup of particles created by the LHC. Learn more ⤵️ atlas.cern/Updates/Briefi…

Happy Eclipse Day!  These adorable preschool moons each demonstrated the eclipse by passing their cake-pop moon in front of the sun torch, making a shadow across the US.  Cake for the win!  #TheMoonIsDelish #solareclipse2024 #solareclipse #eclipse2024 #EclipseSolar2024

Is everyone getting excited for cake... err.. we mean the eclipse? Here's a cake pop eclipse diaorama to whet your appetite for the eclipse later today! The moon will pass in between the sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. ☀️🌑🌍

Are you celebrating #PiDay with pie ... or do you prefer cake? Researchers have designed a robot that can create and cook a cake with more than π ingredients. Learn more: scim.ag/6dA @NewsfromScience

Happy #PiDay, one and all! This pi pie celebrates the puzzle of pi. What’s your favourite pi fact? #PiDay2024

FASER neutrino detection - manga style! 💫 Thanks to @yukiRPM for this amazing illustration!

My colleague Prof. Huang turns 60 this year. Look at his former and current students and postdocs made it for him 🤩🤩🤩🎊🎊🎊

@aydintb Honestly, I would be ok with living in a chocolate universe …

Is there a better way to celebrate #DarkMatterDay than with a chocolate pie chart pie that shows the fractions of visible matter, dark matter, and dark energy in the universe?

There are 3 main ways that scientists are trying to study dark matter: make it, break it, or shake it. “Make it” experiments smash particles together and look at the particle debris for dark matter. 🧵(1/3)

Made a solar system of cupcakes from a kit. (I was impressed it gave instructions on how to do the Great Red Spot.) Getting the colours right was tricky with random quantities of icing, and no artistic talent. Nothing compared to what ⁦@PhysicsCakes⁩ gets up to.

@MarcChtn Stunning!

@PKoppenburg @JayHowarth87 @freyablekman @StevenLowette The extra weight after a 4 course lunch helps you ski faster 😜

@JayHowarth87 @freyablekman @StevenLowette Who can ski after a 4-course lunch?

@StevenLowette I will happily volunteer to go skiing to help you with this experiment 😁

Q: What’s a mathematician’s favourite dessert? A: Pi! How are you celebrating #piDay2023? We like to mark the occasion with physics pies!

Happy birthday to us! 🎂 Say you're coming to celebrate with us—what are the chances you share a birthday with someone else at the party? Watch the full video and find out here: rigb.org/explore-scienc…

@astro_jaz This is why I tell my kids I love them to GNZ11 and back 💁‍♀️

Why do people just say “I love you to the moon and back” like do you know how MASSIVE the universe is?? That’s nothing.
