Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Physicists working with the LHCb experiment at CERN have proven that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle and back again. The researchers were able to prove this using extremely ...

A report in April suggesting a giant atom smasher may have detected a never-seen-before subatomic particle had physicists at the edge of their seats with hope, albeit with a healthy dose of skepticism ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - 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 ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

The announcement this week that scientists may or may not have discovered a new subatomic particle has riled up the physics world. So how do we know for sure whether the particle is real or not?

GENEVA (AP) - The head of the world's biggest atom smasher says they have discovered a new particle that is consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson known popularly as the "God particle," which is ...

Jefferson Lab’s search for smaller-than-an-atom bits of matter that nobody has spotted but that theory says exist is getting some help with crunching through the reams of data its GlueX detector has ...

A new study shows, for the first time, an experiment that could detect a class of ultra-high-energy neutrinos using radar echoes. One of the greatest mysteries in astrophysics these days is a tiny ...

Today the University of Edinburgh announced the death of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs. As NPR's Geoff Brumfiel reports, Higgs was a reclusive, brilliant researcher whose insights ...
