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 ...

Besides, it has a really cool name. The carrier of the strong force is a particle known as the gluon, of which there are nine varieties. Here's the fun thing about gluons: They can feel the strong ...

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.

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 ...

have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays called jets retain information about their origins in subatomic particle smashups. The study was recently published as an Editor's ...

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 ...

But according to Dr. Wilkerson, the boundaries set by astronomers staring out into the void don’t match up with what particle physicists calculate in the lab, as they scrutinize the subatomic world.

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 ...

In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypoethical particle ...
