The idea that all particles are mini black holes has major implications for both particle physics and astrophysics, say scientists.

The particles we know of today, that we assume are fundamental today, could either have a finite, non-zero size in one or more dimensions, or they could be truly point-like, potentially all the ...

Yesterday, we presented a comprehensive guide to the world of subatomic particles, exploring all the known elementary and composite particles. But now it’s time to put certainty to one side and ...

Quarks, leptons, gluons, photons, etc., make up everything we know. But if they all are point-like, fundamental particles, why does everything have a non-zero size?

Among all the particles in the universe, most are invisible. We only know that those mysterious particles, “dark matter,” exist because of their interaction with the world before they d… ...

Coronavirus particles, called virions, are exceedingly small. All the virions in one infected person probably weigh less than a poppy seed.

To actually prove that dark matter particles exist, scientists hope to catch these particles directly. "There are several ways to do it, but essentially they all boil down to trying to capture a ...

While the world's largest atom smasher was busy finding the Higgs boson — the particle thought to explain why other particles have mass — physicists have been quietly building giant ...

Bosons, leptons, hadrons, gluons—it seems like there’s a veritable zoo of subatomic particles, and you can be forgiven for occasionally mixing up your quarks and your squarks (yes, squarks are ...
