Whether as the protons and neutrons that help form chemical elements, the photons that we perceive as light or even the flows ...

Particle physics is sometimes called high-energy physics because scientists can only study subatomic particles using high-energy experiments — for example, by smashing atoms together at nearly ...

Quantum mechanics provides a powerful set of tools for successfully making predictions about what subatomic particles will do, but the theory itself is relatively silent about how those subatomic ...

Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing investigation of CP ...

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 ...

The announcement of the exotic particles came a day after CERN celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the confirmation of the Higgs boson, the subatomic particle that has a central place in the so ...

Which returns us to our original question: what happens when a beam of subatomic particles traveling at nearly the speed of light meets the flesh of the human body?

An international team including scientists from Princeton University has detected subatomic particles deep within the Earth's interior. The discovery could help geologists understand how reactions ...

Subatomic muon particles' weird wobble might break the laws of physics Something unseen is influencing muons, and the findings could lead to a bigger quantum uproar than the Higgs boson did.

Of all the subatomic particles that have any mass at all, the neutrino is the lightest by far. Researchers are closing in on determining its mass.

By prying at one of the biggest cracks in the framework — neutrinos — Argüelles aims to discover what’s next for the field. Neutrinos are mysterious even for subatomic particles.
