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 ...

The United States' military has announced it is seeking to create powerful subatomic particle beams that would enable personnel to "see" through walls tens of yards thick and even peer deep ...

They say you can never trust an atom because they make up everything. This week, we’re shrinking down and getting literally into the heart of the matter. We’ve covered the periodic table and all its ...

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Something unseen is influencing muons, and the findings could lead to a bigger quantum uproar than the Higgs boson did. Rae Hodge was a senior editor at CNET. She led CNET's coverage of privacy and ...

Sensors buried deep in the Antarctic ice may help physicists figure out how gravity works in the quantum realm, the smallest scale of existence. A team of physicists says they’ve figured out how to ...

What is everything made of? It’s the fundamental question that lies at the heart of particle physics. Today, scientists are using gigantic, atom-smashing particle accelerators to probe deeper into the ...

The Nobel-Prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs has died at age 94. He was celebrated for his work on the mass of subatomic particles. Today the University of Edinburgh announced the death of the Nobel ...

Physicists working with the LHCb experiment at CERN have proven that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle and back again. The researchers were able to prove this using extremely ...
