But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

When analyzing early universe data, the Standard Model of Cosmology suggests that the universe should be more “clumpy” that ...

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions with matter.

The subatomic particles are incredibly numerous. About 1,000 neutrinos from stars other than the sun pass through a thumbnail ...

They're tiny, invisible, and travel across the universe. And trillions of them just flew through your body. What are they? Neutrinos ‒ and scientists Wednesday announced the discovery of the most ...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...

Scientists have discovered a common thread between the monstrous black holes that lurk at the hearts of galaxies and subatomic glass condensates created in collisions of atomic nuclei. When you ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum interference—a wavelike interaction between particles related to the weird quantum phenomenon of entanglement—occurring between two different kinds ...
