“There’s a lot of meanings for ‘small,’” says Janet Conrad, a particle physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

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 ...

The subatomic particles called neutrinos are famously elusive. But an unconventional trick could make a laser beam of the aloof particles.

Scientists have proposed a new kind of subatomic particle to explain another particle’s mysterious disintegration. What just ...

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom.

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory ...

She calculated that collisions involving three different types of subatomic particles would all produce the same wreckage.

Two years ago, Earth was hit by the most energetic neutrino in history. Scientists thought it might be a measurement error, but a new study has confirmed this “ghost particle” was real.

A new and powerful particle detector just passed a critical test in its goal to decipher the ingredients of the early ...

At Fermilab, US physicists are refining their measurements of this subatomic particle—which has major implications for the Standard Model.

Majorana particles offer a promising solution for stable quantum computing, utilizing nonlocal encoding and topological ...

Such a computer would be able to model otherwise unknowable areas of the universe. Quantum computing does this by replacing transistor bits with subatomic particles called qubits.
