The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Once in a very great while, an ephemeral particle called a kaon arises and then quickly decays away into three other obscure entities. Whether or not this happens in a particular way has very little ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe. When you purchase through links on our ...

The study of energetic particles and Alfvén eigenmodes is central to understanding plasma behaviour in both laboratory fusion devices and natural astrophysical settings. These high-energy particles, ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion of the universe.

On 7 November 2025, the Austrian Academy of Sciences inaugurated the Marietta Blau Institute for Particle Physics.
