Proton beams with giga-electron-volt (GeV) energies—once thought to be achievable only with massive particle accelerators—may ...

The upshot is that, with a few simple equations, Wheeler could transform an electron moving forward in time to one traveling backwards, and the only observable change would be the particle’s ...

What's less clear from a lot of these stories, though, is what this has to do with particle physics. For that matter, what does it even mean to talk about the electron having a shape? As ...

Discover the fascinating world of particle physics — the most fundamental building blocks of the universe and the forces that ...

Understanding and refining the gyromagnetic factor, or “g factor,” is more than a theoretical pursuit-it directly impacts how ...

Don’t worry, they are so small that they can pass through you (or almost anything else) without causing any trouble at all.

The event triggered 23 of the surface detectors, with a calculated energy of about 244 exa-electron volts. The “Oh My God particle” detected more than 30 years ago was 320 exa-electron volts.

They fashioned a successful prototype. The device can deliver only about 1 electron per second, a tiny trickle by particle accelerator standards. (The average wire inside the average device in ...

Any asymmetry in the electron’s shape, namely the distribution of the particle’s electric charge, would point to a related asymmetry in the laws of nature, one that could explain this feature ...

including using the teensy particle accelerators inside human patients. The new machine, known as a nanophotonic electron accelerator (NEA), consists of a small microchip that houses an even ...

so we have the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino. Leptons are a crucial part of the Standard Model of particle physics. Electrons are important components of atoms ...
