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 ...

Gravitational waves could be responsible for the production of dark matter during the early phases of our universe's ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. If dark matter particles decay, then scientists could hunt for signs of this process, including X-ray or gamma-ray radiation or ...

Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing ...

The universe has cooked up all sorts of bizarre and beautiful forms of matter, from blazing stars to purring cats, out of just three basic ingredients. Electrons and two types of quarks, dubbed “up” ...

Hypothetical particles called axions have been sought by physicists for decades, as they are the leading candidate for what makes up dark matter. But we may not need new experiments to find exotic ...

The new baryon “Xi-cc-plus” decays into other particles almost instantly, but its existence could paint a clearer picture on ...

A window into how visible matter emerges from the "nothing" of vacuum has been opened by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The ...

Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...

"We don't know the frequency, so we need to keep tuning and trying different ones, like searching for a good radio station when you arrive in a different country or drive long distances." The nature ...

If dark matter particles decay, then scientists could hunt for signs of this process, including X-ray or gamma-ray radiation or even emitted "ghost particle" neutrinos, in vast clusters of galaxies.
