Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu particle was detected in 2021 by the Telescope Array experiment in the U.S. It ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

Laser diffraction is recognized as the most reliable light scattering method for analyzing particle size distributions across a range from submicron to millimeter particles. The diffraction set-up ...

The best stock market timing system of four decades ago is still beating a buy-and-hold approach. That’s remarkable for at least two reasons: First, it’s rare for any market timing system to ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An artist's concept of multiple types of subatomic particles. (Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library) Forget about turtles; for all ...

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...
