Our understanding of how the physical world works – from the tiniest subatomic particle to the largest galaxy cluster – has advanced rapidly in recent decades. As The Infinite Monkey Cage ...

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 ...

The Belle II experiment has recently made precise measurements of the lifetime of subatomic particles called quarks and ...

which is a particular type of subatomic particle with unusual properties. One is that a Majorana particle is its own anti-particle. The particles that make up matter, called fermions, have anti ...

Analysis of decay of certain subatomic particles observed using the Large Hadron Collider has provided two small pieces of the puzzle, although we’re still some way from the full picture emerging.

The range of subatomic particles and fundamental forces are the cutting edge of modern physics. Nuclear reactions Alpha decay involves the release of a helium nucleus. Beta decay involves the ...

could be the cosmic engines driving subatomic particles in space to extreme speeds. The team found these shock waves to be among nature’s most powerful particle accelerators. These shock waves ...
