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 ...

Two Canadian physicists are relishing the news that a pair of subatomic particles they predicted more than five years ago has turned up at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's premier particle ...

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'- ...

Data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) outside Geneva appears to have proved the existence of particles made of five quarks, solving a 50-year-old puzzle about the building blocks of matter, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists are closing in on identifying a new force of nature after observing the peculiar 'wobble' of a subatomic particle. The experts whizzed tiny muons, which are similar to electrons, through a ...

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 ...

Could subatomic particles called muons help us navigate through GPS-denied Arctic waters? That’s what a team of researchers believes, and they are not alone. The U.S. military will now help them prove ...

Scientists imagine virtual particles popping in and out of existence to explain how forces transfer between particles. koto_feja/iStock via Getty Images A clever mathematical tool known as virtual ...
