The subatomic particles are divided into three types, protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons A proton is a stable subatomic particle with a positive electric charge in the nucleus of an atom.

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can ...

Elementary particles are the ... Electrons are the negatively charged ... throughout the 1950s and '60s, particle accelerators kept revealing a bevy of exotic subatomic particles, ...

Muons, like electrons, are subatomic particles that carry negative electrical charge; unlike electrons, muons decay after a few millionths of a second. Still, scientists readily encounter muons in ...

Shape-shifting ghost particles Neutrinos are like tiny ghosts; they have no electrical charge and almost no mass, so they barely interact with the universe around them.

He and colleagues Il´ja Mikhailovich Frank and Igor Yevgenyevich Tamm figured out what was causing the strange glow: charged subatomic particles moving faster than the speed of light (in water ...

The Earth is subjected to a hail of subatomic particles from the Sun and beyond our solar system which could be the cause of glitches that afflict our phones and computers. And the risk is growing ...

Neutrinos are ghostly subatomic particles that can travel in a straight line for billions of light-years, passing unhindered through galaxies, stars and anything else in their path.

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator ...
