Neutrinos are probably the strangest particles we know about. They're far, far lighter than any other particle with mass and only interact with other matter via the weak force—which means they barely ...

Since the atomic nucleus was first proposed in 1911, physicists simply assumed it was round. But are the nuclei of atoms really round? Intuitively this shape makes sense and physicists believed it ...
