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 ...

Discovered in 2012, the Higgs boson is vital for understanding mass in particle physics, confirming decades of theoretical ...

Without elementary particles, there'd be no X-Ray machines, no Internet and no electricity. Because some elementary particles penetrate matter without destroying it, they're a boon for scientific and ...

the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 and the proof of the existence of the Higgs field, physicists have used a variety of familiar analogies to explain how the Higgs ...

In our study published on October 21, 2024, in the journal Physical Review Letters, we predict the existence of a new type of black hole that would be surrounded by rings similar in shape to those of ...

Israeli researchers use muon detectors, which detect elementary particles akin to heavy electrons, to reveal subterranean ...

Normal gases, like the air you breathe on Earth, are made up of atoms bouncing around. Atoms consist of a positively charged bundle of particles called the nucleus and negatively charged particles ...

Mohan Qin receives funding from Wisconsin Sea Grant. It’s become common to read that microplastics – little bits of plastic, smaller than a pencil eraser – are turning up everywhere and in everything, ...
