The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Physicists have found provocative evidence that a subatomic particle behaves in a way that cannot be explained by the prevailing model of how matter works on the smallest scale. If confirmed, the ...

Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

The universe is a complex and interconnected system that is made up of various components, each with its own unique vibrational force. Everything, from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest ...

Scientists at CERN spent the last decade waiting for a one-in-ten-billion chance event, and now they’ll spend the next few years figuring out whether it challenges the laws that (we think) govern the ...

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

How the world of the smallest particles is structured, what is known about fundamental forces, and what particles have to do ...

Last month, Microsoft announced a new quantum computing chip called Majorana 1 that it expected would “realise quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not ...
