Fundamental particles fall within two camps—fermions or bosons—but a new study suggests that hypothetical paraparticles could exist in a kind of inbetween. Although technically quasiparticles ...

The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the fundamental particles that make up the atoms that make ...

THE Physical Society, in collaboration with the Cavendish Laboratory, is holding a conference at Cambridge under the combined title of “Fundamental Particles” and “Low Temperature Physics ...

The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons (such as the electron), the quarks that make up protons and neutrons, and gauge bosons, which mediate forces ...

The strong force holds together quarks, the fundamental particles that make up the protons and neutrons of the atomic nucleus, and further holds together protons and neutrons to form atomic nuclei.

The strong force binds the fundamental particles known as quarks together to form particles such as the protons and neutrons of the atomic nucleus. Protons and neutrons are both composites of ...

The range of subatomic particles and fundamental forces are the cutting edge of modern physics. Nuclear reactions Alpha decay involves the release of a helium nucleus. Beta decay involves the ...

The question of what protons or neutrons are made up of has an apparently simple answer: quarks and gluons. However, when it comes to atoms’ third component, electrons, the answer is not as easy.

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental phenomenon in nature and one of the most intriguing aspects of quantum mechanics. It describes a correlation between two particles, such that measuring the ...
