As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., ...

New research claims it may provide evidence of a "fifth force of nature" that could eventually rewrite everything we know.

Nearly a decade ago, a detector searching for ghostly cosmic particles found two anomalous signals in Antarctic ice. But ...

Scientists are trying to solve a decade-long mystery by determining the identity of anomalous signals detected from below ice ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force ...

All known elementary particles fall into one of two categories ... collapsing in on itself—it’s why the electrons in every atom exist in “shells.” Without this minus sign, we couldn ...

Uranium ore that miners dig up is relatively harmless. But it contains tiny amounts of a rare radioactive isotope, Uranium ...

A Yukawa particle is the hypothesized mediator of a possible force within the cores of atoms. If it exists, it would have a ...

By controlling individual atoms, researchers have demonstrated a way to turn previously unwanted atomic motion into an ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings ...

In a new study, the team argues that the flash could be the first sign of dark matter ever detected on Earth. Dark matter, an ...
