A single subatomic particle from deep space had the same energy as a baseball pitch, and scientists still don’t know how it ...

The new baryon “Xi-cc-plus” decays into other particles almost instantly, but its existence could paint a clearer picture on ...

A subatomic particle long predicted by theorists has finally been observed, ending a decades-long wait in physics. Named Ξcc+ ...

In 2023, scientists detected a subatomic particle called a neutrino hitting Earth with an energy level so extreme it seemed impossible. No known ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

As if atoms weren’t already mind-blowingly small, never mind subatomic particles, CERN researchers in the CMS Collaboration were sifting through data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

Scientists have proposed a new kind of subatomic particle to explain another particle’s mysterious disintegration. The kaon, a special case of meson particle, is made of one quark and one antiquark.
