The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

STOCKHOLM -- Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enables the ultra-sensitive measurements ...

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

Strong interactions between subatomic particles like electrons occur when they are at a specific energy level known as the van Hove singularity. These interactions give rise to unusual properties in ...

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a test, but rather the physical stresses that affect everyday objects.

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

The year was 1900 and Max Planck was a young physicist working on the problem of blackbody radiation. This was an intense area of research because the experimental data—the radiation emitted by ...

GOLETA, Calif. – Michel H. Devoret was one of three physicists who won this year’s Nobel Prize in physics for a series of experiments they conducted more than four decades ago. As a postdoctoral ...

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