A team of scientists in Hungary recently published a paper that hints at the existence of a previously unknown subatomic particle. The team first reported finding traces of the particle in 2016, and ...

He's not quite as elusive as the sub-atomic particle that bears his name, but 82-year-old professor Peter Higgs rarely meets the press. So it's worth pointing out that a certain theoretical physicist ...

Nobel Prize winner and physicist, Peter Higgs, has died at age 94, according to a statement from the University of Edinburgh. Higgs proposed the existence of the "God particle," also known as the ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Read full article: Man dies in collision with pickup truck on SR-21 in Clay County LONDON – Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed the existence of the so-called “God particle” that ...

A new estimation of the strength of the magnetic field around the muon -- a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron -- closes the gap between theory and experimental measurements ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

For the first time, physicists have confirmed that certain subatomic particles have mass and that they could account for a large proportion of matter in the universe, the so-called dark matter that ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

The W boson, one of the tiniest, most elementary particles in the known universe is causing a big ruckus in the field of particle physics. According to the Standard Model, W bosons (together with ...
