This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom.
These particles have so little mass, they barely exist at all; roughly 10 billion trillion pass through the Earth every second without touching a single atom.
An international team including scientists from Princeton University has detected subatomic particles deep within the Earth's interior. The discovery could help geologists understand how reactions ...
In a new Nature Physics study, scientists use quantum simulations to study the interaction between subatomic particles.
Physicists working with the LHCb experiment at CERN have proven that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle and back again.
Which returns us to our original question: what happens when a beam of subatomic particles traveling at nearly the speed of light meets the flesh of the human body?
Smashing atoms Most researchers who hunt for new particles use enormous accelerators that smash subatomic particles together at high speed and look at what comes out of the explosion.
Of all the subatomic particles that have any mass at all, the neutrino is the lightest by far. Researchers are closing in on determining its mass.
Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon where an atom or a subatomic particle can appear on the opposite side of a barrier that should be impossible for the particle to penetrate.
Subatomic muon particles' weird wobble might break the laws of physics Something unseen is influencing muons, and the findings could lead to a bigger quantum uproar than the Higgs boson did.
Strange subatomic particles called muons are acting more strangely than the Standard Model predicts. Which means the basic way physicists think the universe works might be wrong.
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 ...
