Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...

When you push "start" on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on—but major physics experiments like the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider have observed particles emerging directly from empty space for the first time, confirming a long-standing prediction of quantum chromodynamics. The ...

For decades, scientists have scavenged for mysterious the “ghost particles” known as neutrinos, which are subatomic particles with no mass and almost no electrical charge. Despite their elusive nature ...

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: When scientists at the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, or CERN, in Switzerland want to study the subatomic world, they first need to ...
