What makes up the matter we perceive in the universe? To start, there are the usual suspects, like electrons, protons, quarks and neutrinos. But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I'm ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

“We weren’t even looking for a semi-Dirac fermion,” said Yinming Shao, a physics professor and lead author on the study. “We were seeing signatures we didn’t understand — and it turns out we had made ...

Scientists have spotted the heaviest antimatter nucleus ever detected lurking in a particle accelerator. The antimatter heavyweight, called antihyperhydrogen-4, is made up of an antiproton, two ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State physicist and her colleagues are the first scientists to observe how subatomic particles—known as lambda particles—are formed, helping researchers learn more ...

From mysterious dark matter to the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei, the past 12 months have reiterated just how strange particle physics can be. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

First measurements of how hypernuclei flow from particle collisions may give insight into the strange matter makeup and properties of neutron stars. This research offers fresh insights into ...

Physicists have long-suspected that the building blocks of protons experienced quantum entanglement. Now, researchers have the first direct evidence — after using a trick to infer subatomic particles' ...

Researchers at the CERN particle physics laboratory’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland have discovered a new type of particle called a strange pentaquark. Finding exotic particles like this ...

Physicists have announced the discovery of a new type of pentaquark 1. Most ordinary matter is made up of three-quark particles —protons and neutrons. The five-particle pentaquarks and their ...

The universe is a strange place on very small scales. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. What makes up the matter we perceive in the ...
