Physics PhD student @RaheemHashmani served as a Live Science expert for this question! ⬇️
Most of an atom is empty space, so why does some matter feel solid? Two physics principles explain why.

Check out this project from DSI Affiliate @gary_shiu!
Excited to share with you an exciting project with Jacky Yip @UWMadPhysics and @arnal_charles and @f_charton @Meta where we develop a transformer model to automate the generation of Calabi-Yau manifolds, extra dimensional spaces in string theory: https://t.co/cXSqLAsHAN

I’m at a symposium in honor of Vernon Barger remembering the glory days of Pheno @UWMadPhysics. Listening to Dieter Zeppenfeld (one of my PhD advisors) talking about the subject of my thesis: Vector Boson Scattering (jet veto & VBF H→ ττ). Nice memories. https://t.co/2J3VXaMGh7
