In 2023, a subatomic particle smashed into the Mediterranean Sea with enough energy to rattle the foundations of physics. The ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

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 ...

Spin correlations within a particle collider may help crack one of the biggest mysteries known, said physicist Zhoudunming Tu ...

The second paper, "Fermion Chirality from Non-Bipartite Topology," applies this same lattice geometry to the quantum world. It proposes that the "handedness" (chirality) of subatomic particles is not ...

Neutrinos are known for funny business. Now scientists have set a new limit on a quantum trait responsible for the subatomic particles’ quirkiness: uncertainty. The lightweight particles morph from ...

Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing investigation of CP symmetry. The anomalies could be ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...
