A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

The Abandoned Westinghouse Atom Smasher, located in Forest Hills, Pennsylvania, was part of a groundbreaking effort in nuclear physics during the 1950s. Originally built by the Westinghouse Electric ...

The deviant behavior of a subatomic particle might point to undiscovered forms of matter and energy in the universe. Or it might not. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller reported on the last result from ...

Particle physics describes the universe at the smallest scale. This includes subatomic particles, like protons and neutrons, as well as elementary particles, like quarks and electrons, which make up ...

When studying the quantum phenomena of the world’s smallest particles, sometimes scientists have to break a few things. “This study, for the first time, establishes a direct connection between the ...
