Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...

GENEVA (Reuters) - An international team of scientists said on Thursday they had recorded sub-atomic particles traveling faster than light -- a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's ...

Scientists studying the tracks of particles streaming from six billion collisions of atomic nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—an "atom smasher" that recreates the conditions of the ...

Researchers were unsure whether alpha particles would aid or hinder fusion. Simulations suggest they help, by dampening turbulence.

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in the universe. A team from NTNU suggests that colossal winds from ...

A team of scientists have developed a method to illuminate the dynamic behavior of nanoparticles, which are foundational components in the creation of pharmaceuticals, electronics, and industrial and ...

A team of physicists from the University of Sussex and the National Physical Laboratory in the UK has been conducting experiments to detect ultra-light dark matter particles with the use of atomic ...

"Atomic clocks bring cosmology and astrophysics down to Earth, enabling searches for ultra-light particles that could explain dark matter in a laboratory." When you purchase through links on our site, ...

When considering what makes up a human body, a physicist drills down beyond the atomic level. Columnist Chanda ...

The famed Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887, in which perpendicular beams of light were raced against each other, seemed to show that a light-carrying ether pervading all space did not exist.

Atomic batteries powered by radioisotopes were one of the first dreams of the Atomic Age, but the dream has taken a long time to turn into reality. Most atomic batteries have produced too little ...
