In this zoo, you won’t find lions or tigers; rather, you will encounter subatomic species such as quarks, bosons, and leptons. The Particle Zoo app provides brief introductions to 19 particle species ...

China’s Beijing Electron-Positron Collider seems to be hosting a reunion; members of a poorly understood family of particles keep popping up in their data, which may help clarify the properties of ...

Elementary particles are the fundamental buildings blocks of matter, and their properties are described by the Standard Model of particle physics. The discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN in 2012 ...

To visit a truly strange land full of wonder and mystery, you don't have to sneak through a magical cabinet, ride a flying creature that shouldn't be able to fly or jump recklessly through a portal ...

The standard model of particle physics includes a veritable 'zoo' of subatomic particles. Visit the Particle Zoo (at http://www.particlezoo.net), and you can order ...

An international study has found evidence of a long-sought effect in accelerator data. The so-called 'triangle singularity' describes how particles can change their identities by exchanging quarks, ...
