Quick facts about particle physics Number of known elementary particles: 61 The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons ...

What do quarks, electrons, and photons have in common? They’re all part of the Standard Model - the theory that helped ...

Although the LHC has ruled out many permutations of supersymmetry (SUSY)—a set of theories positing that elementary particles have “superparticle” partners—one culprit that could be ...

Particle physicists also use results from ground- and space-based telescopes to study the elementary particles and the forces that govern their interactions. This latter category of experiments ...

Why so many “elementary” particles? Why four forces? How do dark matter, dark energy, gravity and space-time fit in? Answering these questions is the work of elementary particle physics.

These X particles, which likely existed in the tiniest fractions of a second after the Big Bang, were detected inside a roiling broth of elementary particles called a quark-gluon plasma, formed in ...

RECENTLY J. Barnóthy 1 has proposed an explanation of the elementary particles (protons, electrons, etc.) in terms of serial universes, each enclosed in one of higher order. The elementary ...

A relatively small detector caught neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a technique known as coherent scattering ...

Using machine learning, string theorists are finally showing how microscopic configurations of extra dimensions translate into sets of elementary particles—though not yet those of our universe.

Physicists have detected “ghost particles” in the Large Hadron Collider for the first time. An experiment called FASER picked up telltale signals of neutrinos being produced in particle ...

Rare tetraquark is one of dozens of non-elementary particles discovered by the accelerator, and could help to test theories about strong nuclear force.
