As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

“There’s a lot of meanings for ‘small,’” says Janet Conrad, a particle physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

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 ...

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a ...

Chinese particle physicists have announced evidence for a new subatomic particle found when the (J/psi) meson decays to a positive and negative pion pair. Although new subatomic particles are found ...

The subatomic particles called neutrinos are famously elusive. But an unconventional trick could make a laser beam of the aloof particles.

Astronomers are using radio pulses from space to find missing baryonic matter and learn about supermassive black holes, ...

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

Neutrino oscillation is weird, but it may be weird in a useful way, because it might allow physicists to probe certain ...

Stellar black holes are born from the collapse of massive stars at the end of their lives, weighing from 3 to 50 times the mass of the Sun. When a star exhausts its fuel, it explodes in a ...

Something unseen is influencing muons, and the findings could lead to a bigger quantum uproar than the Higgs boson did. Rae Hodge was a senior editor at CNET. She led CNET's coverage of privacy and ...
