He proposed using muons, highly penetrating subatomic particles created when cosmic rays strike Earth’s atmosphere, to search ...

Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could have ...

The muon might have had the smuon ... The Higgs boson is presumed to be massive compared with most subatomic particles. It might have 100 to 200 times the mass of a proton. That’s why you ...

Cosmic rays can tell us about space and the universe. In the 20th century, cosmic rays helped scientists discover antimatter and the muon—the first evidence for subatomic particles beyond the proton, ...

Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) have developed a novel top ...

As The Infinite Monkey Cage explores what we know about the subatomic particles that form our universe, we take a look at some of the freaky facts and unsolved mysteries surrounding the substance ...

In the world of particle physics, scientists explore the tiniest building blocks of the universe by smashing high-energy ...
