The United States' military has announced it is seeking to create powerful subatomic particle beams that would enable personnel to "see" through walls tens of yards thick and even peer deep ...

A subatomic particle called the W boson may be heavier than expected, a surprising finding that might lead to a shake-up of physics' grand model of how the world works on the microscale. When you ...

Scientists working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have discovered three subatomic particles never seen before as they work to unlock the building blocks of the universe, the European nuclear ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle smashed into the Mediterranean Sea with enough energy to rattle the foundations of physics. The particle was a neutrino, a fundamental subatomic particle that usually ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the philosophy and ethics of science and technology. New research led by scientists at the University of Bonn, ...

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom. During their turn, players can choose to ...

What would happen if you stuck your body inside a particle accelerator? The scenario seems like the start of a bad Marvel comic, but it happens to shed light on our intuitions about radiation, the ...
