"Our findings point toward an entirely new class of quantum particles that carry no overall charge but follow unique quantum statistics," said Jia Li, an associate professor of physics at Brown.

When building an atom, pay close attention to the particles' electrical charges. Protons have a charge of +1. Electrons have a charge of -1. Neutrons are neutral, as its name implies. A stable ...

When a cosmic ray enters the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) detector on the International Space Station (ISS), magnetic fields separate its particles based on their electric charge, and then ...

One of the symmetries it describes is the so-called U(1) Y hypercharge: a gauge symmetry that contributes to the electric charge of particles before electromagnetic and weak forces become distinct ...

Listen to the full series on BBC Sounds. Electrons are negatively charged particles and they transfer energy through wires as electricity. Charge close chargeProperty of matter that causes a force ...

apart from the opposite electric charge. The positron, the first antimatter particle, was duly discovered in cosmic rays a few years later. It was the first of a whole new menagerie of particles ...

The sign of the zeta potential (positive or negative) indicates the surface charge of the particles and can provide insights into their behavior and interactions with other components in the system.

A new University of Maryland study has revealed a coordinated dance of microscopic particles—breaking up and clustering back ...

Spintronics (short for spin-based electronics) deals with the development of new microelectronic devices, which are based on spin rather than the charge of particles as a carrier for information.

As they studied atomic disintegration, they kept seeing that the atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus, equivalent to the positive charge of the atom) was less than the atomic mass ...
