Scale, Proportion, and Quantity: Atoms and subatomic particles exist on an extremely small scale. Structure and Function: The arrangement of protons, neutrons, and electrons determines an atom's ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat ...

For several decades, a central puzzle in quantum physics has remained unsolved: Could electrons behave like a perfect, ...

The new experimental measurement involved the magnetic properties of subatomic particles called muons. Muons are essentially heavy cousins of the electron.

Black holes have properties characteristic of quantum particles, a study reveals, suggesting these puzzling cosmic objects can be at the same time heavy and light.

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations ...

In particular, he has focused on calculating the properties of hadrons that can decay into other hadrons that carry a non-zero value of 'spin' -- a fundamental property of subatomic particles.

The field attempts to take advantage of the unique and perplexing properties of subatomic particles, which act as both particles and waves, and which seemingly act on each other instantaneously ...

A team including physicists has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The discovery ...
