Researchers of the University of Helsinki have resolved for the first time, how the ultrafine particles of atmosphere effect on the climate and health. Atmospheric air pollution kills more than 10,000 ...

Scientists from the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) have announced the possible detection of the signal of the smallest elementary particle — toponium at the Large Hadron Collider. The ...

In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypothetical particle, known ...

Astronomers have discovered a strangely tiny galaxy in the Milky Way’s neighborhood -- one with less than 1,000 stars held together by the smallest dark matter halo ever observed. The galaxy known as ...

Scientists have successfully activated the world’s smallest particle accelerator, a device as compact as a coin. This breakthrough, which could transform fields ranging from medicine to physics, ...

Air pollution involving very fine dust, such as PM2.5 particles, poses a serious threat to human health. Scientists in Austria have developed what they call the smallest particle sensor in the world, ...

The CMS collaboration at CERN has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which could point to the existence of the smallest composite particle yet observed ...

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.
