or occasionally with subatomic particles called neutrinos. Now, however, astronomers can observe cosmic phenomena such as black-hole collisions by measuring the gravitational waves that these ...

The extremely low-energy particles they suggest make up dark matter would have a unique signature on the Cosmic Microwave Background ... But scientists already know that the subatomic particles known ...

"The appearance of such structures sheds new light on the sorts of mathematical objects that nature is built from." ...

Symmetry has been considered an unshakable property in physics, but strange quark behavior caused it to fail in a scientific ...

An aurora forms on Mars the same way as on Earth, with energetic charged particles colliding with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, exciting them, and causing subatomic particles called ...

This process relies on a weird quantum phenomenon. Hawking proposed that pairs of subatomic particles and their antiparticle opposites are able to pop into existence as a result of fluctuations in ...

Both teams are building detectors that study a sub-atomic particle called a neutrino ... When the Universe was created two kinds of particles were created: matter – from which stars, planets ...
