One of the four German films to feature in the main competition selection at this year’s Berlinale was The Elementary Particles by Oskar Roehler. The film is inspired by the 1998 novel of the same ...

Without elementary particles, there'd be no X-Ray machines, no Internet and no electricity. Because some elementary particles penetrate matter without destroying it, they're a boon for scientific and ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

In the 1990s, the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) in Los Alamos, New Mexico, found a weird anomaly during its experiments on tiny elementary particles called neutrinos. It found far more ...

Yesterday, we presented a comprehensive guide to the world of subatomic particles, exploring all the known elementary and composite particles. But now it’s time to put certainty to one side and ...

In the literal sense, nothing is simpler than an elementary particle: By definition, a particle is considered to be elementary only if there is no evidence that it is made up of smaller constituents.

The Committee on Elementary-Particle Physics was convened by the National Research Council's Board on Physics and Astronomy to assess the field of elementary-particle physics as part of the survey ...
