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 ...

Almost anything is possible — at least for a subatomic particle. One of the many mystifying consequences of quantum mechanics — the rules that govern the behavior of tiny subatomic particles — is that ...

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 ...

They say you can never trust an atom because they make up everything. This week, we’re shrinking down and getting literally into the heart of the matter. We’ve covered the periodic table and all its ...

When most of us picture an atom, we think about a small nucleus made of protons and neutrons orbited by one or more electrons. We view these electrons as point-like while rapidly orbiting the nucleus.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). "Groundbreaking technique yields important new details on silicon, subatomic particles and possible ‘fifth force’." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A lattice of black lines overlays a yellow background. The lines shift and split causing the image to move and the lattice to ...

In a cavernous tunnel beneath the French–Swiss border, physicists have briefly recreated conditions that existed microseconds after the Big Bang and, in the process, knocked lead atoms into becoming ...

The mysterious dark matter! The universe has five times more dark matter than normal matter. Dark matter is just as mysterious as the origin of the big bang. Nobody knows exactly what dark matter is.
