Latest about Particle Physics
Dark matter atoms may form shadowy galaxies with rapid star formation
Dark matter, the invisible material that makes up the vast majority of the universe's mass, may collect itself to form atoms, a new simulation shows.
Faint gravitational waves may be from primordial fractures in space-time
The early universe may have been such a violent place that space-time itself fractured like a pane of glass, releasing gravitational waves that astronomers say we may have already detected.
Dark energy could lead to a second (and third, and fourth) Big Bang, new research suggests
Scientists have proposed a way that the universe could stop expanding, ending in a 'Big Crunch' that resets space and time as we know it.
X-rays reveal how 450-year-old Tycho supernova became a giant cosmic particle accelerator
In new research, astronomers have mapped the magnetic field in the historic Tycho supernova remnant that accelerates charged particles close to the speed of light.
What are gluons?
Reference Discover how gluons bind quarks together to form protons and neutrons and explore the form weird form of matter in which they existed just after the Big Bang.
Leptons: The elementary particles explained
Reference Here we look at what leptons are, how they fit in the Standard Model of particle physics, and their importance in atoms and particle decay.
Powerful linear accelerator begins smashing atoms – 2 scientists on the team explain how it could reveal rare forms of matter
The accelerator at FRIB started working at low power, but when it finishes ramping up to full strength, it will be the most powerful heavy-ion accelerator on Earth.
Does consciousness explain quantum mechanics?
A wild theory suggests that consciousness may explain quantum mechanics, by forcing the subatomic particles to choose one concrete outcome.
