April 14, 1932 was a day that transformed subatomic physics forever as a lithium atom was split using a proton beam.

The latest findings from the KATRIN experiment establish a maximum weight of under 0.45 electronvolts for neutrinos, the universe's lightest particle. Conducted over several years with international ...

Fundamental particles fall within two camps—fermions or bosons—but a new study suggests that hypothetical paraparticles could exist in a kind of inbetween. Although technically quasiparticles ...

Another detector on the other side of the concrete structure then measures how the path of the muons changed as the subatomic particles scattered ... s Paton Bridge, a 70-year-old, 5,000-foot ...

A retired professor emeritus of experimental nuclear physics at the University of Illinois, Nathan no longer studies collisions between subatomic particles ... and humidity over 70%. A perfect setting ...

RIKEN physicists have devised a theoretical method to probe elusive Majorana fermions in topological superconductors by ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large ...

A collaboration of US-based researchers has turned to the PROSPECT-I detector at ORNL in search of the elusive sterile ...

Quasicrystals, exotic states of matter characterized by an ordered structure with non-repeating spatial patterns, have been ...

Physicists have placed a new limit on how big the elusive neutrino can be—one of the universe’s smallest known particles—a limit that makes other subatomic particles look as big as black ...

Neutrinos, the mysterious and nearly massless particles that barely interact with anything, are revealing new secrets through the KATRIN experiment. Using tritium decay and advanced spectrometry, ...
