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 ...

Antimatter is a strange beast. Physicists believe that for every particle that exists in our universe, there is an antiparticle which is identical but has the opposite charge. But when antimatter ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sparked worldwide excitement in March as particle physicists reported tantalizing evidence for new physics — potentially a new force of nature. Now, our new result, yet ...

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, ...

If you’ve been a science fan for the last few years, you’re aware of the exciting results to emerge from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which in 2012 found the Higgs boson, the subatomic particle ...

Physicists are hunting for an elusive particle that swings both ways, and if they find it, it could explain several bizarre results found at atom smashers around the world. But physicists suspect ...

Aug. 28 (UPI) --Particle physicists have finally witnessed the decay of a Higgs boson particle into two bottom quarks. Models predict Higgs boson particles decay into two bottom quarks 60 percent of ...

Interior of the Projectile Spectator Detector (PSD) used in the NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN. In collisions of argon and scandium atomic nuclei, scientists from the international NA61/SHINE ...

Harry Cliff is a member of the LHCb Collaboration, though he was not directly involved in the work described in this article. Everything you see around you is made up of elementary particles called ...
