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 ...

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 ...

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.

subatomic particles, like the Higgs boson. Similar collisions likely took place in the early universe. At the end of the day, ...

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 ...
