Particles rush through a long tunnel in the Large Hadron Collider. Maximilien Brice/CERN, CC BY-SA When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on – but major physics ...
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 ...
A subatomic particle known as a muon is disobeying the basic laws of physics, according to preliminary results from two separate experiments debuted on Wednesday. The Muon g-2 experiment at the ...
A subatomic particle called the W boson may be heavier than expected, a surprising finding that might lead to a shake-up of physics' grand model of how the world works on the microscale. When you ...
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 ...
The goal of nuclear physics is to describe all matter from its simplest building blocks: quarks and gluons. Found deep inside protons and neutrons, quarks and gluons also combine in less common ...
