Why did this particle mysteriously disintegrate?

A surprising and rare particle decay has left scientists puzzled as kaons, particles made up of quarks, are decaying in ways that defy current physics models. Could this anomaly indicate the existence ...

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 ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that ...

China is nearing completion of an advanced facility to measure neutrinos, the smallest subatomic particles known to physicists. Its underground central sphere will soon be sealed off and filled with ...

When protons smash against a beryllium target in CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), the resulting subatomic chaos produces a smattering of kaons—a kind of subatomic particle. Physicists predict ...

The universe isn’t just growing—it’s speeding up as it does. That discovery stunned scientists, upending long-held ideas about gravity and motion in space. This rapid expansion wasn’t predicted by ...

Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Dept. of Energy and NSF. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ...

No matter how much order nor how many distinctions we make about the universe, in essence, it’s just a soup of subatomic waves and particles. Whether this represents some sort of primordial order or ...
