The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

The new map could track these mysterious particles from their origin points and how many of them stirred across the planet, ...

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...

The coldest and densest molecular gas clouds in the interstellar medium can have temperatures of 10 K (-505 °F/-263 °C), ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up of my favourite research of 2025 I have chosen five stories in which ...

Yesterday, we presented a comprehensive guide to the world of subatomic particles, exploring all the known elementary and composite particles. But now it’s time to put certainty to one side and ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

New research shows the way soccer players move about the field bears similarities to the manner in which particles behave under the chaotic conditions of turbulence. This discovery is one of the many ...
