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 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 ...

The isotope lead-208 was predicted to be extremely stable and perfectly spherical because of the “magic” numbers of electrons and protons orbiting its nucleus. When researchers blasted lead-208 with ...

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'- ...

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 ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

Scientists working in the realm of subatomic physics study particles - specifically, subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons - and how they exist and interact. By doing so, they ...

Scientists have submitted proposals for a new £17billion atom-smasher to help solve the mysteries of the universe. The Future Circular Collider (FCC) will be a 56.5-mile circular tunnel buried deep ...
