Every time I write about particle physics, I encounter a moment of uncertainty about a quantity that, at first glance, ought to be clear. How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are?

Heavy smoke emanated from Chennai Port on Tuesday morning from the stocks of sulphur stored within one of the yards in the port, causing discomfort to commuters and those in the surrounding areas, ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — must be incomplete, because there are a host of phenomena it cannot ...

PM 2.5 is made up of tiny airborne particles no larger than 2.5 micrometers—about 30 times thinner than a strand of human hair. Just like any other particulate matter smaller than 10 micrometers, PM 2 ...
