Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it. Baryons, composite particles made up of ...

In the world of particle physics, you are never alone — quite literally. Every moment there is an invisible rainstorm of subatomic particles falling down on us from space. Unlike the kind of matter we ...

Chapter 6 of physics dives into force and motion! Learn how forces impact motion, and explore how acceleration, friction, and Newton's laws work in real-world situations. #PhysicsExplained #ForceAndMo ...

Tests of quantum weirdness and its potential real-world applications have been recognized with the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics. At some level we are all subject to quantum rules that even Albert ...

Stefan Hutzler and Denis Weaire are in the School of Physics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Their postgraduate student Ali Irannezhad currently performs his experiments in his home in Tehran, Iran.

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works — a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...
