An international team of researchers witnessed a strange phenomenon of quantum physics in Z bosons, massive particles that ...

Physicists at CERN have directly measured proton-oxygen collisions at 9. 62 TeV per nucleon pair, closely recreating an ...

Yesterday, we presented a comprehensive guide to the world of subatomic particles, exploring all the known elementary and composite particles. But now it’s time to put certainty to one side and ...

While the effective interaction between the particles appears to break Newton’s third law, it doesn’t because there is no ...

Physicists at Cern have discovered a plethora of new exotic particles being created in the collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider over the past few years. So many have been found, in fact, ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...

A year ago, researchers made a splash with a wildly creative idea for building a laser from notoriously elusive particles, but a new analysis shows this is probably impossible ...

In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of change and transition, often portrayed with two faces gazing in opposite directions. At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Janus particles are ...

Over the years, physicists have given names to the smallest constituents of our universe. This pantheon of particles has grown alongside progress in physics. Anointing a particle with a name is not ...
