When studying the smallest particles that make up our world, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is quite possibly the best ...

Does light behave more like a particle, or like a wave? Today we know the surprising answer. Here's why it took so long to ...

The team used a branch of quantum physics to compute the energy levels, or mass, of particles containing a specific 'flavour' of the subatomic building blocks known as quarks. Quarks, along with ...

In 1974, the independent discovery of the J/psi particle at SLAC and Brookhaven National Laboratory rocked the physics world, and entire textbooks had to be rewritten. Earlier this month, SLAC hosted ...

Scientists can determine the mass of subatomic particles that are built from quarks by looking at the particles' energy and ...
