In a first, US researchers have observed fractional excitons, a new class of quantum particles, that were only theoretically ...

Cosmic rays coming from outside the Solar System bring these particles closer to the Sun, where they experience changes ...

When building an atom, pay close attention to the particles' electrical charges. Protons have a charge of +1. Electrons have a charge of -1. Neutrons are neutral, as its name implies. A stable ...

Listen to the full series on BBC Sounds. Electrons are negatively charged particles and they transfer energy through wires as electricity. Charge close chargeProperty of matter that causes a force ...

The majority of our evidence for dark matter’s existence comes from observing visible (or baryonic) matter that does not exert enough gravitational force to explain why, say, an object is orbiting ...

In quantum physics, subatomic particles behave strangely—they can be in two places simultaneously, move through solid objects, and communicate instantly over long distances. Scientists are studying ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Duisburg-Essen were able to make significant observations of collision speed and electrical charge of the particles through experiments on a suborbital flight.
