As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets. Particle accelerators, also known as particle ...

For years, physicists have been baffled by the discovery of mysterious “ghost particles”. The scientific name for them is “neutrinos”, which are neutral sub-atomic particles with no electric charge.

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...
