New subatomic particle discovery may challenge the Standard Model and explain why matter dominates over antimatter in the ...

never mind subatomic particles, CERN researchers in the CMS Collaboration were sifting through data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and potentially picked up a signal for what could be—if ...

The hypothetical subatomic particle has long eluded scientists. But it’s now been conjured up in imitation form within a thin sheet of material, researchers report April 16 in Nature.

But what makes up a carbon atom—or any other atom? The first subatomic particle to be identified was the electron, in 1898. Ten years later, the British physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered ...

Our understanding of how the physical world works – from the tiniest subatomic particle to the largest galaxy cluster – has advanced rapidly in recent decades. As The Infinite Monkey Cage ...

It’s fascinating to realize that such an infinitesimal and rebellious particle can have such profound effects on both subatomic and cosmic scales—and that it can be robustly studied in ...
