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 ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

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

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

The handheld particle detector CosmicWatch is roughly the size of a box of animal crackers. Every time a muon passes through ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Yesterday, we presented a comprehensive guide to the world of subatomic particles, exploring all the known elementary and composite particles. But now it’s time to put certainty to one side and ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

New research shows the way soccer players move about the field bears similarities to the manner in which particles behave under the chaotic conditions of turbulence. This discovery is one of the many ...
