At TRIUMF, Pradeep Nair is making cyber risk personal, helping colleagues understand one another, and asking what happens to ...

IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) demonstrated a real-time quantum error correction decoder on a standard processor, a fault-tolerance step for the quantum computing sector.

Barely-there particles called neutrinos just got caught acting even more ethereal. With tiny masses and no electric charge, the subatomic particles rarely interact with anything, making them difficult ...

A search for one mysterious particle unexpectedly revealed evidence for two different structures that may belong to the bizarre family of exotic subatomic particles known as XYZ states. The findings ...

A lone signal from an experiment in South Dakota doesn’t fit the profile of any other known particles, physicists say. By Katrina Miller Hundreds of physicists have spent years scrutinizing the data ...

Every time I write about particle physics, I encounter a moment of uncertainty about a quantity that, at first glance, ought to be clear. How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are?

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by subatomic particles like protons and the quarks and gluons that make them up.

Stardust Solutions says its tiny spheres can reflect the sun’s rays without harming people or the environment. Critics say private companies have no business altering Earth’s atmosphere. An enclosed ...

Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — must be incomplete, because there are a host of phenomena it cannot ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...
