He shared the Nobel with two other Jewish colleagues for their discoveries about the neutrino, the world’s smallest subatomic particle. (JTA) — Jack Steinberger, a researcher who shared the 1988 Nobel ...

Physicists have placed a new limit on how big the elusive neutrino can be—one of the universe’s smallest known particles—a limit that makes other subatomic particles look as big as black holes by ...

Physicists have found provocative evidence that a subatomic particle behaves in a way that cannot be explained by the prevailing model of how matter works on the smallest scale. If confirmed, the ...

Scientists at CERN spent the last decade waiting for a one-in-ten-billion chance event, and now they’ll spend the next few years figuring out whether it challenges the laws that (we think) govern the ...

An artist's concept of multiple types of subatomic particles. Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their ...
