The scientific world has long known that atoms form the basic building blocks of matter, but CERN is interested in peering beyond the atom into the mesonic and baryonic soup that gives rise to matter ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland have announced that they discovered a new subatomic particle. Roughly four times more massive than a standard proton, this short-lived piece of ...

Over the past century, we have peeled back the layers and uncovered more about the make-up of subatomic particles than ever ...

If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by ...

current theory that attempts to describe matter. Their research will be published in Physical Review Letters (in press). "It could mean some of the standard and accepted theories on matter will need ...

Physicists at Cern have discovered a plethora of new exotic particles being created in the collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider over the past few years. So many have been found in fact, ...

As they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of ...
