The CDF Collaboration at Fermilab has confirmed that a subatomic particle called the Bs meson flips between matter and antimatter about 3 trillion times per second, a measurement so precise it ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle ...

When protons smash against a beryllium target in CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), the resulting subatomic chaos produces a smattering of kaons—a kind of subatomic particle. Physicists predict ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

The Nobel-Prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs has died at age 94. He was celebrated for his work on the mass of subatomic particles. Today the University of Edinburgh announced the death of the Nobel ...

When it was time for the 2013 Nobel prize in physics to be announced, Peter Higgs went fishing. Andy Rain/EPA Images Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, ...

Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...

Today the University of Edinburgh announced the death of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs. As NPR's Geoff Brumfiel reports, Higgs was a reclusive, brilliant researcher whose insights ...
