Real particles are lumps of energy that can be "seen" or detected by appropriate instruments; this feature is what makes them ...

Boron nitride sensors enable quantum measurements under crushing pressure, redefining high-pressure physics. The quantum ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Using subatomic particles that rain down from space to effectively see through the Earth sounds like something from an ...

Quantum mechanics is simultaneously beautiful and frustrating. Its explanatory power is unmatched. Armed with the machinery of quantum theory, we have unlocked the secrets of atomic power, divined the ...

(THE CONVERSATION) A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would ...

CERN, the world’s largest atom smasher, says it has observed three new "exotic particles" while carrying out its third run of collisions. After a three-year pause for maintenance and routine checks, ...

According to the model, dark matter may have started as particles that were hot, light, massless, and fast. As the universe ...
