The Particle Adventure is an interactive introduction to the world of quarks, the Higgs boson, neutrinos, antimatter, the fundamental forces, extra dimensions, dark matter, accelerators and particle detectors.
Science is shown in action through topics such as "How Do We Know Any of This?" and "Unsolved Mysteries". One can skim through or take the time to dig into topics of special interest.

Awesome Physics App !!!!!!! Got everything I need. Quantum Mechanics, Info on Atomic Particles, Four Fundamental Forces, Higgs Boson etc. It's also offline. The best app for studying particle physics. My ambition is to become an Astrophysicist and this app has helped me a lot. Thanks to all the creators of this magnificent application.
★★★★★
This most excellent app makes difficult subjects understandable to the average person. You don't have to be Sheldon Cooper to understand it.
★★☆☆☆
Navigation problems This app builds on fantastic information and immaculate way of deliverance of knowledge yet it failed to get more score than a star because I can't change view and size of the page and much gets hidden and cut by the boundaries like navigation arrows. I really atop participate, however, effort they put to develop the app and bringing the knowledge to ordinary people.
