A rather unassuming particle is playing an important role in the hunt for subatomic oddities. Similar to protons and neutrons, mesons are composed of quarks bound together by the strong nuclear force.

The new measurement from LHCb has found differences between baryons and antibaryons, which are made of three quarks and three ...

Nicole Havlik of the Edgerton Explorit Center gave a program called "Sparks" for about 80 youngsters and adults at the Grand Island Public Library.

The question of where atoms come from requires a lot of physics to be answered completely – and even then, physicists only have good guesses to explain how some atoms are formed.

Many heavy atoms form from a supernova explosion, the remnants of which are shown in this image. NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

An atom has the same number of protons as electrons, so it is neutral − it has no overall charge. Now, most of the atoms in the universe are the two simplest kinds: hydrogen, which has one proton, ...

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

Explore the fundamental components of an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons. This video discusses why the traditional model of the atom is inaccurate, highlighting the unpredictable nature of ...

What Would Happen If You Lost One Electron From Every Atom In Your Body? You would die, of course, but you'd have a loooooot of company.
