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 ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don’t always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass ...

The fact that like charges repel and opposites attract is basic electromagnetism. But for decades scientists have occasionally made a counterintuitive, and controversial, observation: similarly ...

Protons are particles that exist in the nucleus of all atoms, with their number defining the elements themselves. Protons, however, are not fundamental particles. Rather, they are composite particles ...

Wang Yifang, project manager of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory and director of the Institute of High Energy Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, speaks at the observatory in ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found 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 ...
