Experimental Result |
Searching for Nature's Right Hand |
07 April 2005 |
Elementary particles such as electrons are labeled as either "right-handed" or "left-handed". A surprising observation is that only left-handed particles seem to feel the weak nuclear force, whereas left- and right-handed particles feel the other fundamental forces equally. |
