What makes up the matter we perceive in the universe? To start, there are the usual suspects, like electrons, protons, quarks and neutrinos. But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I'm ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

“We weren’t even looking for a semi-Dirac fermion,” said Yinming Shao, a physics professor and lead author on the study. “We were seeing signatures we didn’t understand — and it turns out we had made ...

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 ...

First measurements of how hypernuclei flow from particle collisions may give insight into the strange matter makeup and properties of neutron stars. This research offers fresh insights into ...

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' ...
