Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

An ancient crocodile’s last meal might never have come to light were it not for researchers deciding to scan the rock-embedded fossil with a beam of neutrons. The scientists had set out to see if ...

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 ...

Two new subatomic particles whose existence was predicted by Canadian particle physicists have been detected at the world's largest particle collider. The discovery of the particles, known as Xi_b'- ...

Scientists are closing in on identifying a new force of nature after observing the peculiar 'wobble' of a subatomic particle. The experts whizzed tiny muons, which are similar to electrons, through a ...

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 ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...
