New subatomic particle discovery may challenge the Standard Model and explain why matter dominates over antimatter in the ...

As if atoms weren’t already mind-blowingly small, never mind subatomic particles, CERN researchers in the CMS Collaboration were sifting through data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and ...

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 ...

As the world gears up for more powerful particle colliders, new 4D quantum sensors tested at Fermilab promise sharper ...

A long-elusive, hypothetical subatomic particle called the axion can be simulated and potentially detected in a type of thin material.

In our daily lives, the sun seems constant and quiet, sedately shining at a steady pace. A fundamental rule in physics is ...

But what makes up a carbon atom—or any other atom? The first subatomic particle to be identified was the electron, in 1898. Ten years later, the British physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered ...

Neutrinos are known to have tiny masses. A new result proclaims the subatomic particles to be even tinier still. Neutrinos are the only class of fundamental particle for which the mass ...

Physicists have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays called jets retain information about their origins in subatomic particle smashups. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's ...
