Data from billions of proton collisions reveal that subatomic particles called W+ and W− bosons keep company with a photon. Skip to main content. Thank you for visiting nature.com.

The study introduces a theoretical particle that would have initiated the transition to dark matter. But scientists already know that the subatomic particles known as electrons can undergo a ...

The Standard Model organizes the subatomic world into two broad categories of particles, known as fermions and bosons, according to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Dark matter formed when fast particles slowed down and got heavy, new theory says Date: May 15, 2025 Source: Dartmouth College Summary: Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark ...

Hot, fast-moving particles dominated the cosmos after the burst of energy known as the Big Bang that scientists believe triggered the universe's expansion 13.7 billion years ago.

The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their understanding of physics ...

Particles called muons wobble when you put them in magnetic fields, and a team of more than 200 physicists in seven countries have spent the last six years measuring the speed of those wobbles.

Although new subatomic particles are found relatively often, and reports of tentative discoveries are more common still, this one stands out because it was predicted more than 70 years ago by the ...

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 ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...
