Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

They say you can never trust an atom because they make up everything. This week, we’re shrinking down and getting literally into the heart of the matter. We’ve covered the periodic table and all its ...

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

Of all the subatomic particles that have any mass at all, the neutrino is the lightest by far. In comparison, the electron, itself a quantum featherweight, has a mass that is at least 500,000 times ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum interference—a wavelike interaction between particles related to the weird quantum phenomenon of entanglement—occurring between two different kinds ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...
