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 ...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...

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 subatomic particles are incredibly numerous. About 1,000 neutrinos from stars other than the sun pass through a thumbnail ...

The search for dark matter has been largely unsuccessful so far. But now, scientists think they know where to look for it.

One of the world's most sophisticated scientific facilities is turning to ultra-low temperatures to try and unravel hidden ...

They're tiny, invisible, and travel across the universe. And trillions of them just flew through your body. What are they? Neutrinos ‒ and scientists Wednesday announced the discovery of the most ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

Scientists have discovered a common thread between the monstrous black holes that lurk at the hearts of galaxies and subatomic glass condensates created in collisions of atomic nuclei. When you ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.
