The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

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 ...

Several massive multimillion dollar experiments should soon reveal more about the nature of these ghostly particles ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

The study of energetic particles and Alfvén eigenmodes is central to understanding plasma behaviour in both laboratory fusion devices and natural astrophysical settings. These high-energy particles, ...

Physicists at Cern have discovered a plethora of new exotic particles being created in the collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider over the past few years. So many have been found, in fact, ...

If you have trouble keeping up with the latest particle physics, we don’t blame you. The buzzy field has exploded in recent years, with a vast string of highly experimental studies — and a lot of ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

Particle therapy experts gathered in London to discuss the transformative potential of laser-driven proton and ion beams ...
