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 ...

GENEVA – Scientists at the world’s biggest atom smasher hailed the discovery of “the missing cornerstone of physics” Wednesday, cheering the apparent end of a decades-long quest for a new subatomic ...

The BESIII collaboration have reported the observation of an anomalous line shape around ppbar mass threshold in the J/ψ→γ3(π + π-) decay, which indicates the existence of a ppbar bound state. The ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

The Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago. If accurate, it’s a sign that the theories forming the foundation of modern particle physics don’t tell the whole story.

European researchers say they have discovered a new subatomic particle that helps confirm our knowledge about how quarks bind – one of the basic forces in the shaping of matter. The European ...

Scientists working at the world's biggest atom smasher in Switzerland say they have discovered what could be the long-sought Higgs boson, a subatomic particle dubbed the "God particle" because it is ...
