Particle physics: Facts about the elementary particles that make up our universe
Discover the fascinating world of particle physics — the most fundamental building blocks of the universe and the forces that connect them.
World's largest atom smasher turned lead into gold — and then destroyed it in an instant
The world's largest particle collider produces roughly 89,000 gold nuclei every second, all from smashing lead atoms together at near-light-speed.
'Beauty' particle discovered at world's largest atom smasher could unlock new physics
Why matter dominates over antimatter in our universe has long been a major cosmic mystery to physicists. A new finding by the world's largest particle collider has revealed a clue.
Elusive neutrinos' mass just got halved — and it could mean physicists are close to solving a major cosmic mystery
Physicists have set a new upper limit on the mass of neutrinos. And the finding could poke a big hole in the Standard Model of particle physics.
The world's largest atom smasher is getting a powerful new upgrade
Physicists are finalizing plans for MATHUSLA, a powerful new addition to CERN's Large Hadron Collider that will detect long-lived particles and potentially open the door to new physics.
'Spooky' quantum entanglement discovered inside individual protons for 1st time ever
Physicists have long-suspected that the building blocks of protons experienced quantum entanglement. Now, researchers have the first direct evidence — after using a trick to infer subatomic particles' entropy.
'The Majoron' — a bizarre particle that's its own opposite — could explain the biggest mysteries of the universe, scientists claim
There's a significant imbalance between matter and antimatter in our universe, but a strange particle called "the Majoron" could finally explain it, an audacious new study suggests.
800-mile-long 'DUNE' experiment could reveal the hidden dimensions of the universe
A new underground facility called DUNE, which will accelerate particles for 800 miles between Illinois and South Dakota, could reveal the hidden dimensions of the universe, new research suggests.
