A series of nine free lectures at the University of Chicago will explore how the scientific view of the smallest constituents of ordinary matter and the forces that act upon them has changed ...

The concept of symmetry is rooted in daily life, apparent in the butterflies that migrate each spring, the buildings where we work and the music we play. But how did symmetry become so fundamental to ...

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

A professor at the University of Cincinnati and his colleagues have figured out something two of America's most famous ...

In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypoethical particle, known ...

A new study suggests that many theorized heavy particles, if they exist at all, do not have the properties needed to explain the predominance of matter over antimatter in the universe. If confirmed, ...

Scientists working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have discovered three subatomic particles never seen before as they work to unlock the building blocks of the universe, the European nuclear ...

Electrons are extremely round, and some physicists are not pleased about it. A new experiment captured the most detailed view of electrons to date, using lasers to reveal evidence of particles ...

The universe is a big place, but it's made out of small pieces. The periodic table includes elements such as oxygen, carbon and other building blocks that make up stars, cats or cups of coffee. But ...

The issue of alien subatomic particles, i.e., radiation from space, potentially affecting chips is again making rounds in the trade media amid a recent paper from Vanderbilt University's Bharat Bhuva ...
