Description
xWelcome to Atom Land, a subatomic realm governed by the laws of particle physics. Here, electromagnetism is a highway system; the strong force, a railway; the weak force, an airline. With award-winning physicist Jon Butterworth as your guide, you'll set sail from Port Electron in search of strange new terrain--from the Isle of Quarks to the very edge of Antimatter. Journey into an unseen world--and to the frontiers of human knowledge.
