In a new Nature Physics study, scientists use quantum simulations to study the interaction between subatomic particles.
The lead isotope known as lead-208 was considered a “double magic” atom because of its subatomic particles —until the reveal of something completely unexpected.
This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom.
CERN, the world's largest atom smasher, has resumed operations after a three-year pause for maintenance and routine checks, observing three new exotic particles.
Another peculiarity observed at the subatomic level is quantum entanglement. When two or more particles become entangled, they share a connection that persists even across mind-bogglingly vast ...
Muons are subatomic particles that are similar to electrons but around 200 times heavier. At high energy, they can easily travel through hundreds of yards of solid rock.
It's an adventure through inner space! Dan Smith is going subatomic to find the smallest things possible, in your "Moment of Science".
Protons are tiny subatomic particles that, along with neutrons, form the nucleus of an atom. The heavier the atom, the more protons (and neutrons) it contains.
Particle accelerators (often referred to as “atom smashers”) use strong electric fields to push streams of subatomic particles—usually protons or electrons—to tremendous speeds. Accelerators by the ...
