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 ...

Atoms are usually made of protons, neutrons and electrons. These are made of even smaller elementary particles. Elementary particles, also known as fundamental particles, are the smallest particles we ...

Why do neutrinos, these elementary particles, sometimes seem to act in such a puzzling way? For decades, physicists have been faced with this puzzle, observing behaviors that do not fit ...

Without elementary particles, there'd be no X-Ray machines, no Internet and no electricity. Because some elementary particles penetrate matter without destroying it, they're a boon for scientific and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you take any amount of matter, no matter how small or how large, ...

In the 1990s, the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) in Los Alamos, New Mexico, found a weird anomaly during its experiments on tiny elementary particles called neutrinos. It found far more ...

The atomistic paradigm of high energy physics cannot anymore be dismissed because the proposed elementary particles are too many (and, hence, it is claimed, they do not provide a simple account of ...

One of the four German films to feature in the main competition selection at this year’s Berlinale was The Elementary Particles by Oskar Roehler. The film is inspired by the 1998 novel of the same ...

Ashoke Sen, String Theory expert from Harish Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad, is one of the three recipients of the Dirac Medal awarded by International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) ...
