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 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 ...

DeMille is a pioneering physicist who has developed techniques to search for evidence of new particles and forces that could ...

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.

AT the Physical Society's Conference on Fundamental Particles, held at Cambridge in July 1946, we reported that a light charged particle is occasionally emitted in the fission of uranium by slow ...

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 ...
