A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

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 ...

An international team including scientists from Princeton University has detected subatomic particles deep within the Earth's interior. The discovery could help geologists understand how reactions ...

Physicists working with the LHCb experiment at CERN have proven that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle and back again. The researchers were able to prove this using extremely ...

What would happen if you stuck your body inside a particle accelerator? The scenario seems like the start of a bad Marvel comic, but it happens to shed light on our intuitions about radiation, the ...

Something unseen is influencing muons, and the findings could lead to a bigger quantum uproar than the Higgs boson did. Rae Hodge was a senior editor at CNET. She led CNET's coverage of privacy and ...

To peer into the heart of the sun, a 13.7-meter-wide stainless steel shell lined with over 2,200 light-gathering sensors hides deep under a mountain in central Italy. Known as the Borexino experiment, ...

Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for ...

The quantum world is a pretty wild one, where the seemingly impossible happens all the time: Teensy objects separated by miles are tied to one another, and particles can even be in two places at once.
