Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...

A surprising and rare particle decay has left scientists puzzled as kaons, particles made up of quarks, are decaying in ways that defy current physics models. Could this anomaly indicate the existence ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

What if particles don't slow down in a crowd, but move faster? Physicists from Leiden worked together and discovered a new state of matter, where particles pass on energy through collisions and create ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have ...

For decades, physicists searched for a missing piece of nature's puzzle, an elusive particle believed to explain why matter has mass. Nicknamed the "God particle", the Higgs boson became one of the ...

Look alive, science fans — a new subatomic particle has just dropped after a 20-year search. Discovered by British researchers at the nuclear research laboratory CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, the ...

François Englert, Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of the Higgs mechanism, passed away at 93, leaving behind a profound body of work in physics.

Particle physics dives into the very depths of the universe – the particles that make up atoms. Over the past century, we have peeled back the layers and uncovered more about the make-up of subatomic ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.
