University of Melbourne physicists have helped discover a new state of matter that may shed light on the fabric of the universe. The University team of 14 is part of a group of 300 physicists from 13 ...

The announcement this week that scientists may or may not have discovered a new subatomic particle has riled up the physics world. So how do we know for sure whether the particle is real or not? A ...

Scientists have found evidence that a relatively recently discovered subatomic particle is breaking the existing laws of physics. It’s not clear what forces are influencing the particle, and there is ...

A subatomic particle called the W boson may be heavier than expected, a surprising finding that might lead to a shake-up of physics' grand model of how the world works on the microscale. When you ...

Protons are particles that exist in the nucleus of all atoms, with their number defining the elements themselves. Protons, however, are not fundamental particles. Rather, they are composite particles ...

A subatomic particle has been found to switch between matter and antimatter, according to Oxford physicists analyzing data from the Large Hadron Collider. It turns out that an unfathomably tiny weight ...

At every moment, subatomic particles stream in unfathomable numbers through your body. Each second, about 100 billion neutrinos from the sun pass through your thumbnail, and you’re bathed in a rain of ...
