Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...

Physicists working with the LHCb experiment at CERN have proven that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle and back again. The researchers were able to prove this using extremely ...

at the planets and stars, at the galaxies and clusters of galaxies, and at the gas, dust and plasma populating the space between these dense structures, we find the same signatures everywhere. We see ...

Standard model of elementary particles: the 12 fundamental fermions and 4 fundamental bosons. Brown loops indicate which bosons (red) couple to which fermions (purple and green). Credit: ...

In the earliest days of the universe, shortly after the Big Bang, the cosmos was awash in particles. Not all of them were normal particles of matter, however. Corresponding with each type of particle ...

A quirky type of subatomic particle known as the charm meson has the seemingly magical ability to switch states between matter and antimatter (and back again), according to the team of over 1,000 ...

Scientists believe that the radiation thought to come from black holes may not be a black hole exclusive. Called Hawking radiation, it’s the result of quantum fields producing particle-antiparticle ...

Stars, planets, people and petunias: everything emits a special kind of radiation and will, if it sticks around long enough, evaporate into nothing. That's the claim in a new study of physics effects ...
