When studying the smallest particles that make up our world, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is quite possibly the best ...

In 1974, the independent discovery of the J/psi particle at SLAC and Brookhaven National Laboratory rocked the physics world, and entire textbooks had to be rewritten. Earlier this month, SLAC hosted ...

In physical sciences, subatomic particles can be composite particles, such as the neutron and proton, or elementary particles. Based on the standard model, elementary particles are not made of other ...

Scientists can determine the mass of subatomic particles that are built from quarks by looking at the particles' energy and ...

A deep neural network was trained using quantum tunneling to mimic the human ability to view optical illusions.

Muon colliders could slam the subatomic particles together in hopes of unlocking physics secrets. Giving muons a speed boost is a crucial step.

Avto Kharchilava helped planned and build the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector of the Large Hadron Collider, the strongest particle accelerator in the world. He is among researchers worldwide who ...

The most likely explanation is that there may be another force of nature at play but another hypothesis is that it could also be the work of another undiscovered subatomic particle like leptoquark ...

They maintained that the Standard Model of Particle Physics is used to make very accurate predictions about how subatomic particles interact and decay. "However, there are gaps in the Standard ...

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 ...
