Abstract
The nature is filled with a bewildering variety of objects and materials. Over the centuries, the chemists have built a simplified picture, in which all the objects are made up of about 90 elements. During the past century, the physicists tried to simplify this picture even further. But, in this process, they have encountered newer and stranger particles, which were never even thought of before. I will describe this new picture, built by the physicists over the last century which is built on charm and beauty.
Date: August 13, 2025
Time: 3.00 PM – 4.00 PM
Venue: V-201, Vikram Sarabhai Block
Join the colloquium and gain a brand-new perspective about the world around you!
