Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

They're tiny, invisible, and travel across the universe. And trillions of them just flew through your body. What are they? Neutrinos ‒ and scientists Wednesday announced the discovery of the most ...

Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland said Wednesday that they had discovered a new subatomic particle that looks like the Higgs boson, a potential key to an understanding of why ...

Artist’s depiction of the spray of particles arising from the collision of two heavy atoms. As the hot subatomic soup cools, newly formed particles shower off into space. This finding improves ...

What is everything made of? It’s the fundamental question that lies at the heart of particle physics. Today, scientists are using gigantic, atom-smashing particle accelerators to probe deeper into the ...

In new research, scientists find that flocks of birds may become ordered after a disordered start. The way flocks and other “collective motions” form has eluded scientists for a long time.
