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

After years of failed searches, CERN has finally caught a needle in a subatomic haystack: a heavy relative of the proton ...

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 ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...
