Our understanding of how the physical world works – from the tiniest subatomic particle to the largest ... 1. The word “atom” comes from the Greek for “indivisible”, but they’re ...

But what makes up a carbon atom—or any other atom? The first subatomic particle to be identified was the electron, in 1898. Ten years later, the British physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles ... nuclear force that holds the atom’s nucleus together.

The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after a two-year search, imposing stringent limits on this mysterious, ...

This discovery was something of an accident, as it emerged out of the search for new types of Higgs bosons. A boson is a subatomic particle with an angular momentum (spin) that has integer values.

Physicists studied proton interactions at the Large Hadron Collider to see if they could find quantum entanglement as a ...

Physicists have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays called jets retain information about their origins in subatomic particle smashups.
