This interactive table presents the elementary particles of the standard model as well as the conjectured graviton. |

The two farthest-reaching bosons are the graviton, the gauge boson for gravity, and the photon, the gauge boson for electromagnetism. |
|
Then she winced as one of Cat's fighters took a graviton shot to its port engine bank and began corkscrewing towards the building. |
|
It's called the gravitino because it is the superpartner of the graviton. |
|
But the gravitational field is a symmetric tensor rather than a vector, and this means the graviton is spin-two, rather than spin-one like the photon. |
|
In particular, the graviton must have a spin quantum number of 2 and no mass, only energy. |
|
One firm that is working on this is graviton, a start-up backed by a group of investors including the CIA's venture-capital fund, In-Q-Tel, and Siemens, a German electronics giant. |
|
However, while physicists have found the particles associated with the other forces of Nature in their experiments, the particle of gravity, the graviton, has yet to be discovered. |
|
Could hidden dimensions disclose the graviton? |
|
Many of the accepted notions of a unified theory of physics since the 1970s assume, and to some degree depend upon, the existence of the graviton. |
