For decades, scientists have explored the enigmatic world of fundamental particles, uncovering the building blocks of our universe. But what if some of these particles, once deemed impossible, ...

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the moments following the Big Bang. This remarkable achievement offers valuable ...

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang ...

A group of fundamental particles, long theorised but thought to be physically impossible, might exist after all. Known as paraparticles, they could one day have exotic applications if we ever manage ...

(via Fermilab) Virtual particles are one of those topics of modern physics that just don’t sound real. How can particles just appear and disappear without anyone seeing them. In this video, Fermilab’s ...

In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She calculated that collisions involving three different types of subatomic ...
