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 ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

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 ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are involved in the major international research consortia NEMESIS (“Neutron Experiments join Muon Experiments for Synergy in Investigation and ...
