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 ...

Some 2,000 years ago, a Roman ship sank off the coast of Sardinia. Now its cargo is being used to search for elusive ...

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

Scientists from the U.S. and Japan join forces to see if the elusive neutrino might lie at the heart of our matter-dominated ...

Neutrinos, often referred to as “ghost particles,” are subatomic entities that can pass through the densest of materials, ...

Physicists have taken one small-but-consequential step toward measuring the mass of an elusive "ghost particle" called a neutrino — an achievement that could poke a significant hole in the Standard ...

(Reuters) - The European Organisation for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, is the world's largest particle physics laboratory. Following is a brief history of CERN and its advances in particle physics ...

Professor of Physics Tom Mehen is remembered as a pioneer in the field of nuclear and theoretical physics and an inspiring mentor who formed lasting connections with his students. Mehen, 54, died Dec.

The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

Back in the 19305 when the nuclear era began, the building blocks of matter seemed simple enough. There were neutrons and protons nestled in the nucleus of the atom, electrons spinning around it, and ...
