What are the top resources for learning about particle physics and engineering?

[Todd Masssure]

Hi everyone,
I'm excited to find this forum. I work in architecture, but in my personal life I'm very interested in physics and engineering--specifically particle physics, waves, fields (elect./magnetic/gravity), and nuclear fusion. I have been involved at times on the amateur fusion experimenter's forum fusor.net, but I have not yet built a fusor.

Welcome to the forum, Todd. As you've probably already figured out, this is a GREAT forum for getting help learning science. Good idea to read the rules since this is one of those forums where they actually are taken seriously.

Truly, those are some of the most interesting branches of Physics. In this forum, you should have a look at:

1. The main forums, that you see in the first page.
2. Insights Blog, available at the top row (header section). In short, they have been described as a "wonder of the web". It contains articles that help in learning topics to a great extent.
3. The Videos, also available in the header section. The media gallery now has some great videos in almost every aspect in science, and they provide an audio-visual learning experience.

The last two should be interesting for you. Check out the Particle and Engineering sections in the media gallery. Also pay a visit to the Experiments category.

Enjoy your time here.

With regards,
Wrichik.
