Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

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 ...

Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about long-standing neutrino anomalies. After many years of investigation, resea ...
