Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

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 ...

In a discovery that has physicists relearning how to count, three teams around the globe report that they have identified a subatomic particle consisting of five quarks -- a number never before seen ...

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...

CERN, the world’s largest atom smasher, says it has observed three new "exotic particles" while carrying out its third run of collisions. After a three-year pause for maintenance and routine checks, ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang ...
