STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State physicist and her colleagues are the first scientists to observe how subatomic particles—known as lambda particles—are formed, helping researchers learn more ...

A team of Israeli researchers has developed a breakthrough that could transform archaeology: the ability to map underground ...

Until now, observing subatomic structures was beyond the resolution capabilities of direct imaging methods, and this seemed unlikely to change. Czech scientists, however, have presented a method with ...

At its start, the universe was a superhot melting pot that very briefly served up a particle soup resembling a "perfect," frictionless fluid. Scientists have recreated this "soup," known as ...

More than three years after discovering a never-before-seen subatomic particle, physicists now know how these particles — called pentaquarks — are put together. New research reveals three completely ...

Graphene is stronger than steel and a better conductor that copper, making the two-dimensional material of particular ...

Manhattan-born physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who revolutionized the discovery and classification of subatomic particles, died Friday at the age of 89. Famous for detecting a slew of theoretical specks, ...

The Large Hadron Collider in Geneva is getting bigger. The giant particle accelerator—sometimes referred to as an atom smasher—causes collisions between beams of high-energy particles to study their ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) stands as one of the most rigorously tested theories in modern physics, offering a comprehensive framework to describe the interactions between charged particles and the ...
