Fundamental Forces & Energy Transitions

Nine processes, three forces, eight orders of magnitude. Filter by force, scan the energy scale, and tap any process for what actually happens and why.

Energy per event

Logarithmic scale, 1 eV to 1 GeV. Hover or tap a bar to find its process below.

A chemical bond stores a few eV. A single fission event releases ~200 MeV, roughly fifty million times more.
