a particle physicist at King’s College London, tells Physics World’s Michael Banks. The renowned physicist came up with a key theory that explains how some tiny particles get their mass.

China has launched a new underground detector to find out neutrinos, a tiny particle that can help scientists understand how the universe works. Looking UP into the sky, what's behind the clouds ...

scientists built what is called the Standard Model of Particle Physics to help visualize the nature of these tiny elements.

In order to answer these deep questions about the cosmos, the LHC will whiz tiny subatomic particles, known as protons, around a giant ring-shaped tunnel, 27km in circumference that runs 100 ...

During the time it takes for its wave to go through one cycle, a gamma-ray wave traveling at the speed of light will travel only the width of a proton, a tiny particle found within the nucleus of ...

The big picture: Scientists have spent decades trying to unravel the mysteries of the proton – the tiny particle at the heart of every atom. Despite their minuscule size, protons are incredibly ...

Teacher: Well, we usually imagine atoms to be like tiny balls like this. Now, to make the diagrams simpler we often just draw them as circles. So now an atom is the smallest particle of an element.

Two years ago, a neutrino collided with matter and produced a tiny particle called a muon that pinged through the underwater detector, producing flashes of blue light. The researchers worked ...
