WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

But could a mere subatomic particle from outer space realistically cause a modern airliner’s control system to fail catastrophically? In mid-Oct. 2025, the answer came with a stark Cruifen value. An ...

The announcement this week that scientists may or may not have discovered a new subatomic particle has riled up the physics world. So how do we know for sure whether the particle is real or not? A ...

Observations of extremely rare subatomic particle actions have allowed scientists to put one of the most stringent limits yet on the reigning theory of particle physics. Physicists at the world's ...
