A new experiment, involving over 100 physicists from eight different countries working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has uncovered possible evidence of the existence of a subatomic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Modern scientists face several pressing mysteries in their quest to understand the laws of the universe. A recent discovery could represent a very substantial step forward in solving a couple of them.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. One of the biggest questions in particle physics is whether the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have found an extra charming new subatomic particle that they hope will help further explain a key force that binds matter together. Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe ...

Scientists believe they could be nearing the discovery of a new fifth force of nature. It came after an experiment confirmed the peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon. The findings ...

Just over the border from Georgia, in the Caucasus mountains of southern Russia, lies the small town of Neytrino. For the past half-century, its main business has been the study of the tiniest ...
