The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden ...

Extremely massive fundamental particles could exist, but they would seriously mess with our understanding of quantum mechanics. Fundamental particles are objects that are so small, they have no deeper ...

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 ...

The Higgs boson is the only fundamental particle known to be scalar, meaning it has no quantum spin. This fact answers questions about our universe, but it also raises new ones. When it was first ...

Matter particles are only one part of the recipe for everything students see around them. The particles in matter must interact; otherwise the universe would just be one big collection of quarks and ...

RECENTLY J. Barnóthy 1 has proposed an explanation of the elementary particles (protons, electrons, etc.) in terms of serial universes, each enclosed in one of higher order. The elementary particles ...

What is our Universe made out of? At a fundamental level, to the best of our knowledge, the answer is simple: particles and fields. The type of matter that makes up humans, Earth, and all the stars, ...

The quarks, antiquarks, and gluons of the standard model have a color charge, in addition to all the other properties like mass and electric charge that other particles and antiparticles possess. All ...

The four fundamental forces act upon us every day, whether we realize it or not. From playing basketball, to launching a rocket into space, to sticking a magnet on your refrigerator - all the forces ...
