An international team of physicists has successfully measured the size of a certain type of neutrino to a certain degree. In ...

The short answer is; no. We will never see atoms using visible light, simply because the wavelength of visible light (around 400 to 700 nanometers) is larger than the size of an atom (around 0.1 to ...

High-energy particles rain down on Earth constantly, but scientists have now detected a doozy: a neutrino blasting in from ...

Recent research on lightweight particles called neutrinos might have passed you by—much like the more than 10 trillion ...

Neutrinos are ghostly subatomic particles that can travel in a straight line for billions of light-years, passing unhindered ...

Astronomers using a giant network of sensors, still under construction at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, have found the highest-energy cosmic “ghost particle” ever detected.

A huge detector in the Mediterranean Sea spotted the most energetic neutrino from space to date. The particle could shed light on the universe’s most extreme phenomena.

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

A hydrogen atom can be raised into an “excited ... However, note that our model is not an exact representation because elementary particles do not undergo births or deaths.

The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American ...
