Subatomic particles are best described with fuzzy math. We don't know exactly where an electron is — but we know the odds that it's at a certain point in a general area that is ringed by a boundary.

It consists of atomic nuclei with a charge of 10 18 to 10 20 electron volts, making them the most energetic particles found in nature.

Of all the subatomic particles that have any mass at all, the neutrino is the lightest by far. In comparison, the electron, itself a quantum featherweight, has a mass that is at least 500,000 ...

Scientists can determine the mass of subatomic particles that are built from quarks by looking at the particles' energy and momentum in four-dimensional spacetime. One of the quantities that ...

The Standard Model organizes the subatomic world into two broad categories of particles, known as fermions and bosons, according to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

This is despite the fact that subatomic charm quarks are about 1.5 times more massive than the proton, itself. When charm quarks are present, they carry about half of the proton’s mass.

Neutrinos are subatomic particles with no charge and very little mass that are known to weakly interact with other matter in ...

CERN physicists observed matter-antimatter imbalance in a baryon. Antiparticles possess the same mass as matter but opposite charge. The Big Bang should have created equal matter and antimatter.

This subatomic particle’s surprising heft has weighty consequences If the W boson is heavier than expected, then a foundational idea in physics is unfinished.

(Image credit: Shutterstock) Physicists use electron volts (eV) to measure the mass of subatomic particles, Lincoln said. Technically, the unit is eV/c^2, in which c is the speed of light.

A single particle's mass is 4 amu (6.642×10−4 g), according to Britannica Alpha particles are emitted from heavy radioactive elements (both naturally occurring and man-made), including uranium ...
