The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

The new map could track these mysterious particles from their origin points and how many of them stirred across the planet, ...

They're called ghost particles for a reason. They're everywhere—trillions of them constantly stream through everything: our ...

How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, three scientists formulate a new model: according to this, inflation, the ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

Subnuclear physics obeys the laws of quantum mechanics, which are quite a far cry from those of classical mechanics we are accustomed to. For that reason, one might be inclined to believe that ...

Physicists at the ATLAS detector of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have spotted top quarks — the heaviest of all known elementary particles — that were produced by the collision of atomic nuclei 1.

A new measurement finds the universe's teensiest particles weigh no more than one-millionth the mass of an electron. Reading time 2 minutes Physicists have placed a new limit on how big the elusive ...

Tiny little threads whizzing through spacetime and vibrating incessantly: this is roughly how you can imagine the universe, according to string theory. The various vibrations of the threads generate ...

A new study explores the behavior of photons, the elementary particles of light, as they encounter boundaries where material properties change rapidly over time. This research uncovers remarkable ...
