The proposed 91-kilometer collider could be up and running by the 2040s, but it won't perform high-energy physics until 2070.

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...

In just the first 259 days of data collection, KATRIN, a beta-decay-based detector in Germany, has set the smallest upper ...

The number of neutrinos out there is difficult to comprehend – there are roughly a billion for every atom in the cosmos. However, because they have so little mass and lack an electric charge, ...

The protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus, the tiny centre of an atom, with smaller electrons orbiting outside the nucleus. Each particle has its own charge and its own mass.

The atom itself is neither created nor destroyed but cycles among chemical compounds. Ecologists can apply the law of conservation of mass to the analysis of elemental cycles by conducting a mass ...

As they studied atomic disintegration, they kept seeing that the atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus, equivalent to the positive charge of the atom) was less than the atomic mass ...

Elusive neutrinos' mass just got halved — and it could mean physicists are close to solving a major cosmic mystery The world's largest atom smasher is getting a powerful new upgrade Latest ...

Atoms have a central positive nucleus. Most of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus. 1913 Bohr In-depth work on Rutherford's model showed it had limitations. The electrons should just ...
