From new medicines to cancer treatment, the tools of particle physics play an important role in hospitals around the world. The same particle-physics technology used to understand the universe is also ...

Bird watchers have "life lists" of species they hope to see in their lifetimes. Why shouldn' t particle physics fans do the same? With that in mind, in our April issue we asked readers to help us put ...

The discovery of a ghostlike particle taken from several miles above the Earth is believed by researchers to be proof of the existence of extra-terrestrial life. A group of astrobiologists at the ...

Researchers from the LHCb experiment at CERN recently presented a new discovery at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics. The team discovered a new particle they labeled as ...

Particle size analysis is used to characterize the size distribution of particles in a sample. This analysis can also be used to measure the particle size of solid materials, suspensions, emulsions, ...

A new study links even small reductions in fine particle air pollution to increased life expectancy. Researchers who compared data from 545 counties across the U.S., including many in California, ...
