A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project.

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

Before atomic elements came together, less than a second after the Big Bang, if particles condensed into halos of matter, ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

Lunar impact glass becomes a mighty mountain in new 'Nanocosmos: Journeys in Electron Space' images (exclusive) ...

Particle astrophysics is the study of fundamental particles travelling through space, particularly those that reach the Earth. These cosmic rays include photons, protons, alpha particles and neutrinos ...

This paper describes the eccentricity, amplitude, phase shift, angular momentum, polarization, radial path, and orbital ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...
