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 ...

Predicting the properties of subatomic particles before their experimental discovery has been a big challenge for physicists. In a recent paper published on 28 July in Physical Review Letters ...

Both particles were predicted to exist by the quark model in physics, but had never been seen before, although a related particle, Xi_b*0, was spotted by the CMS experiment at CERN in 2012.

New images reveal the sun in never-before-seen detail after a record-breaking probe flyby late last year.The images, taken a negligible 6.1 million kilometres from the sun's surface, capture features ...

"This completes the picture of the subatomic constituents of matter," said Phil Yager, a physicist at UC Davis and a participant in the experiment. "It's really important to see that this thing does ...

Evidence suggests subatomic particles could defy the standard model. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2015 / 08 / 150827121919.htm ...

The sun, a nuclear power plant, and carbon dating all draw their abilities from interactions between particles in the hearts of atoms. Those are, in part, the work of a subatomic particle called ...

And with enough muons, they can draw a pretty good picture of what's going on inside the pipe. Or inside anything, really. Muon detectors were invented after the 9/11 attacks, as a way of looking ...

A team of researchers at the University of Chicago recently embarked on the search of a lifetime—or rather, a search for the lifetime of long-lived supersymmetric particles.
