Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that barely interact with matter. They can pass through planets without stopping. The ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Scientists have made an unprecedented close examination of the electron, providing fascinating new insights into the nature of particles, energy and forces at infinitesimally small scales. A ...

UPTON, NY-Scientists exploring the dynamic behavior of particles emerging from subatomic smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, https://www.bnl.gov ...

Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large ...

Sorry, Einstein: It looks like the world is spooky — even when your most famous theory is tossed out. This finding comes from a close look at quantum entanglement ...

Operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest particle accelerator today, built underground in an area that straddles France and ...

A new study suggests that many theorized heavy particles, if they exist at all, do not have the properties needed to explain the predominance of matter over antimatter in the universe. If confirmed, ...
