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 ...

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 ...

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

The United States' military has announced it is seeking to create powerful subatomic particle beams that would enable personnel to "see" through walls tens of yards thick and even peer deep ...

Imagine if we could collect the energy out of thin air. And I mean it quite literally.You know how you were taught that a ...

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

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

CERN, the world’s largest atom smasher, says it has observed three new "exotic particles" while carrying out its third run of collisions. After a three-year pause for maintenance and routine checks, ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle smashed into the Mediterranean Sea with enough energy to rattle the foundations of physics. The particle was a neutrino, a fundamental subatomic particle that usually ...

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom. During their turn, players can choose to ...
