This surprising subatomic world contains weak bosons, strange and charm quarks, tau-neutrinos, photons, muons, gluons and other oddly-named entities. Things that are formed of atoms and molecules ...

They have demonstrated that nuclear polarisation does not impede the study of muonic atoms. It clears a major obstacle that ...

For most of my life, I’ve been interested in matters of scale — the extremes, from the unknowable vastness of our universe to ...

When researchers blasted lead-208 with ions to excite the subatomic particles and determine the shape of the nucleus, they found that it was instead sort of oblong, as if it had been squashed.

J. Thomson’s discovery that atoms were not indivisible, but contained smaller, negatively charged entities called electrons — the first subatomic particles to be identified. Then, in 1911 ...

However, the quantum objects that Elena Redchenko works with at the Institute for Atomic and Subatomic Physics at ... In contrast to atoms, which have fixed properties, determined by nature ...

Two presenters use animations to show how protons, neutrons and electrons make up atoms. They explain the relative masses, sizes, locations and charges of these subatomic particles. Introduce ...

A team of Italian scientists have successfully managed to ‘freeze’ light while asserting that it can behave like a supersolid. This has resulted in a major breakthrough in field of quantum physics.
