For example, all fundamental particles (that we know of) can be naturally divided into two categories: fermions and bosons. Fermions contain all the particles of matter (i.e. quarks and leptons) and ...

The research was done by Caltech’s Clifford Cheung and Aaron Hillman along with Grant Remmen at New York University. They ...

A Rice physics professor has proven the existence of particles that were long thought impossible. Kaden Hazzard and his ...

Like stretch marks left on skin that expanded too quickly or cracks embedded in freezing ice, cosmic strings are artifacts of ...

Strange "right-handed" neutrinos may be responsible for all the matter in the universe, according to new research.

Its crowning glory came in 2012 with the discovery of the Higgs boson, the particle that gives all other fundamental particles their mass, whose existence was predicted on the basis of quantum ...

A group of fundamental particles, long theorised but thought to be physically impossible, might exist after all. Known as paraparticles, they could one day have exotic applications if we ever ...

With a project of this size—around 800 miles long, to be precise—other discoveries are also possible. In fact, a recently published study in the Journal of High Energy Physics from the High Energy ...

That’s because, as far as we know, electrons are fundamental particles ... a case of “turtles all the way down”; we would keep discovering smaller and smaller particles that made up each ...
