A SUBATOMIC particle is a particle that composes an atom. Everything in the universe is made of atoms, microscopic pieces of matter. Please provide a valid email ...

Our ideas about time and the "direction" it moves in may need to go back to the drawing board, says physicist Joan Vaccaro, from Griffith University in Queensland. She suggests the traditional view of ...

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 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 ...

Fusion reactors may not only generate clean energy but also produce axions, particles linked to dark matter, according to a ...

Subatomic particles can rapidly change between matter and antimatter, scientists have now found. This groundbreaking discovery was made by monitoring charm mesons, which are subatomic particles that ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

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 ...

Hold on to your hats, fire up the time machine and see what it can do! Even better, it may be possible to get to Alpha Centauri and back in time for tea after all. Or so it is claimed. In September, a ...

Our understanding of how the physical world works – from the tiniest subatomic particle to the largest galaxy cluster – has advanced rapidly in recent decades. As The Infinite Monkey Cage explores ...

Neutrinos are known as "ghost particles", because they are known to travel through solid objects with ease. But a new study demonstrates that some of these sub-atomic particles are stopped in their ...
