The new map could track these mysterious particles from their origin points and how many of them stirred across the planet, ...

They're called ghost particles for a reason. They're everywhere—trillions of them constantly stream through everything: our ...

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 and ...

Extremely massive fundamental particles could exist, but they would seriously mess with our understanding of quantum mechanics. Fundamental particles are objects that are so small, they have no deeper ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

Today's physicists are struggling with a quandary. They have accepted two separate theories that explain how the universe works: Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. What is the Universe, at a fundamental level, truly made out of? Is ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...
