Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP)

CPEP is a non-profit organization of teachers, educators, and physicists located around the world. CPEP materials (charts, software, text) present the current understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy, incorporating the major research findings of recent years. During the last ten years, CPEP has distributed more than 100,000 copies of its charts and other products.

Featured topics:

Fundamental Particles and Interactions

Plasmas and Fusion Physics

Enjoy our new feature: The Particle Adventure: An interactive tour of the inner workings of the atom and the tools for discovery.
