A new measurement of a fundamental particle called the W boson appears to defy the standard model of particle physics, our current understanding of how the basic building blocks of the universe ...

But on the quantum scale, a particle will actually pass straight through a comparable wall -- a phenomenon called "tunnelling". "What these scientists were able to do was to basically do that, but on ...

Impressively, the world's hottest engine could alter our understanding of thermodynamics as well as human diseases.

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...
