Neutrinos are elementary particles that interact weakly with matter, and their detection has typically required very large ...

When the Oh-My-God particle slammed into the Earth's atmosphere, it was traveling many orders of magnitude faster than 99.99% the speed of light — suffice it to say that there isn't room here ...

Small-scale projects and the future of particle physics The enthusiasm around the ASTAE program highlights the importance of smaller projects in developing the particle physics workforce. These ...

According to the EPA, the death may have been “premature” and caused by small particle air pollution. The EPA uses “prevention” of premature deaths from small particles to justify tighter pollution ...

HIGGS BOSON - A theoretical particle which is thought to give matter its mass. First proposed by Peter Higgs of the University of Edinburgh in 1964. The LHC should confirm whether it exists.

Physicists from the University of Pennsylvania, working with colleagues at Arizona State University, are examining the ...

Small HDL particles play a significant role in the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, and an inherited gene present in one in four people hinders its production in the brain, increasing risk for ...

Researchers record ultrafast chorus dance of electrons on super-small particle The measurement breaks the “nanometer barrier,” allowing researchers to observe ultrafast collective electronic ...

CASPAR, a small particle accelerator located nearly a mile underground at SURF, can recreate the conditions inside stars, including the first stars in the universe.
