The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

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 ...

Scientists have used CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to uncover what they say is an entirely new type of particle, dubbed ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up ...

The study of energetic particles and Alfvén eigenmodes is central to understanding plasma behaviour in both laboratory fusion devices and natural astrophysical settings. These high-energy particles, ...

Using a new method, physicists found a way to 'catapult' electrons across solar materials in quadrillionths of a second.

Britain is preparing to cancel its contribution to one of the Large Hadron Collider's next major upgrades.

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

If you have trouble keeping up with the latest particle physics, we don’t blame you. The buzzy field has exploded in recent years, with a vast string of highly experimental studies — and a lot of ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...
