'The Particles' iPad App Is a Physics Geek's Dream What with the Higgs boson making headlines all the time, everyone's heard of this so-called Standard Model in physics, but how many people really know what it is? Now anyone with an iPad or Windows 8 tablet can dive into the world of particle physics in a comprehensive and well-organized app simply called "The Particles."
