New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. What is the Universe, at a fundamental level, truly made out of? Is ...

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 ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

Scientists have succeeded in creating an experimental model of an elusive kind of fundamental particle called a skyrmion in a beam of light. Scientists at the University of Birmingham have succeeded ...

Today's physicists are struggling with a quandary. They have accepted two separate theories that explain how the universe works: Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes the ...

When CERN’s gargantuan accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), fired up ten years ago, hopes abounded that new particles would soon be discovered that could help us unravel physics’ deepest ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

RECENTLY J. Barnóthy 1 has proposed an explanation of the elementary particles (protons, electrons, etc.) in terms of serial universes, each enclosed in one of higher order. The elementary particles ...

THE Physical Society, in collaboration with the Cavendish Laboratory, is holding a conference at Cambridge under the combined title of “Fundamental Particles” and “Low Temperature Physics” during July ...

Fundamental particles are objects that are so small, they have no deeper internal structure. There are about a dozen “matter” particles that scientists think are fundamental, and they come in a ...

The four fundamental forces act upon us every day, whether we realize it or not. From playing basketball, to launching a rocket into space, to sticking a magnet on your refrigerator - all the forces ...
