Neutrinos are among the most elusive of elementary particles. They were not detected until about 25 years after they were first suggested to exist.

Fermilab's Tevatron is trying to make more scientific news before Europe's huge Large Hadron Collider completes repairs and begins operations again in the Spring of 2009.

Isaac Newton invented calculus to describe things that are moving or changing in some way. This was just the beginning of more new and exciting physics theories to come.

Those hunting for the elusive neutrino typically trek to exotic locations to detect the particle. But new projects are looking up to Moon to detect neutrinos using radio.

In the big bang theory, matter formed in the early universe as elementary particles including protons, electrons, and neutrons.

In addition to his work on relativity in 1905, Einstein published an explanation for the photoelectric effect that earned him the 1921 Nobel Prize.

Protons and other types of hadrons interact via the strong nuclear force. Hadrons are further classified into mesons and baryons.

Leptons are a class of elementary subatomic particles, which includes electrons and neutrinos, that interact via the weak nuclear force.

Straddling the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, 50 meters underground and an astonishing 17 miles long; the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is easily the World's biggest gun.

Prof Frank Close of the University of Oxford continues his journey into the world of particle physics.

Scientists with the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory say their machine has a 50% chance of discovering the particle which is believed to give mass to the universe.

The fact that Earth is a rocky planet is a large reason it is capable of supporting life. The heavy elements necessary for this were created in stars and supernovae.
