Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

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 ...

Scientists working in the realm of subatomic physics study particles - specifically, subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons - and how they exist and interact. By doing so, they ...

UPTON, N.Y. -- Precise observations of subatomic particles have uncovered a serious discrepancy with the collection of theories that explain the known particles and forces that shape the universe, ...

(via Fermilab) Virtual particles are one of those topics of modern physics that just don’t sound real. How can particles just appear and disappear without anyone seeing them. In this video, Fermilab’s ...

Experiments at the world's biggest particle smasher have confirmed the existence of two theorized subatomic particles, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) said on Wednesday.

Anomalous radio signals detected in Antarctica by the ANITA experiment were coming upward from Earth rather than down from the sky. Researchers used digital and mathematical simulations to test ...

A study by Dartmouth researchers proposes a new theory about the origin of dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. The researchers ...

Sensors buried deep in the Antarctic ice may help physicists figure out how gravity works in the quantum realm, the smallest scale of existence. A team of physicists says they’ve figured out how to ...

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, ...
