The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

A SUBATOMIC particle is a particle that composes an atom. Everything in the universe is made of atoms, microscopic pieces of matter. Atoms are incredibly tiny and are difficult to see even under a ...

Two Canadian physicists are relishing the news that a pair of subatomic particles they predicted more than five years ago has turned up at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's premier particle ...

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom. During their turn, players can choose to ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

Everything we can see around us, like the Earth, planets, and stars, only makes up about 5% of the universe. The rest of it is comprised of invisible forces and particles that we haven't directly ...

The United States' military has announced it is seeking to create powerful subatomic particle beams that would enable personnel to "see" through walls tens of yards thick and even peer deep ...

Electrons are proficient little magicians. They seem to flit about an atom without tracing a particular path, they frequently appear to be in two places at once, and their behavior in silicon ...

A group of teenaged students from Cambridge, Ont., is hunting for new subatomic particles at the home of the world's largest atom-smasher, the Large Hadron Collider. The six boys and seven girls of ...

When Donald Trump claimed US scientists split the atom in his inaugural speech, even he could not have imagined the chain reaction of online debate his boast would cause. Many of those leaping on it ...
