This book shows how our understanding of quantum physics is mostly, but not entirely, correct Cover: Six Impossible Things by John Gribbin (Credit: Icon Books Ltd, 2019). Quantum physics is so bizarre ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

Physicists have filled in some longtime blank spaces on the periodic table, calculating electron affinities of the lanthanides, a series of 15 elements known as rare earths. Physicists at Michigan ...

Physicists have announced the observation of a new particle, the Omega-sub-b (Ω b). The particle contains three quarks -- two strange quarks and a bottom quark (s-s-b). It is an exotic relative of the ...

If you were able to shrink yourself to the size of a subatomic particle, the world would look very different. You’d find yourself floating in what appeared to be outer space, and objects which are ...

Two teams of physicists have stumbled across a weird new subatomic particle that’s unlike anything else we’ve ever seen—and it could rewrite the rules of matter as we know them. Researchers from both ...

WASHINGTON — Scientists have found an extra charming new subatomic particle that they hope will help further explain a key force that binds matter together. Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in ...

A pair of physicists announced the discovery of a subatomic event so powerful that the researchers wondered if it was too dangerous to make public. The explosive event? The duo showed that two tiny ...
