The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. One of the biggest questions in particle physics is whether the ...

The Standard Model is the modern physical understanding of three of the four forces of nature: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. When you purchase through links on ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (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 ...

At every moment, subatomic particles stream in unfathomable numbers through your body. Each second, about 100 billion neutrinos from the sun pass through your thumbnail, and you’re bathed in a rain of ...

Quantum chromodynamics, or QCD, is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks and gluons. Lattice QCD uses supercomputers to explore 'tantalizing hints' of new physics in discrepancies ...

Something unseen is influencing muons, and the findings could lead to a bigger quantum uproar than the Higgs boson did. Rae Hodge was a senior editor at CNET. She led CNET's coverage of privacy and ...

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 ...

Naples, Italy — Beneath the honking horns and operatic yelling of Naples, the most blissfully chaotic city in Italy, archeologist Raffaella Bosso descends into the deafening silence of an underground ...
