The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB accelerator measures particle interactions with extreme precision. Collisions of electron and positron beams create the high-energy environment needed to ...

Neutrinos are known for funny business. Now scientists have set a new limit on a quantum trait responsible for the subatomic particles’ quirkiness: uncertainty. The lightweight particles morph from ...

In physical sciences, subatomic particles can be composite particles, such as the neutron and proton, or elementary particles. Based on the standard model, elementary particles are not made of other ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Physicists have begun to explore the proton as if it were a subatomic planet. Cutaway maps display newfound details of the particle’s ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...
