Everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, which in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic nuclei contain positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, which consist of ...

Quantum physics is our basic theory of how particles and the forces that act on them work. It is the foundation of the hugely successful standard model of particle physics – the most exhaustively ...

A “muon shot” aims to study the basic forces of the cosmos. But meager federal budgets could limit its ambitions. By Dennis Overbye and Katrina Miller Friday, Dec. 8: This story was updated to include ...

What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they ...
