Physicists peer into mirror nuclei. The atomic nucleus is a busy place. Its protons and neutrons periodically collide and fly apart with high momentum before…
Theoretical physicist James Vary has been waiting for nuclear physics experiments to confirm the reality of a “tetraneutron” that he and his colleagues theorized, predicted,…
Time crystals were long believed to be impossible because their perpetual motion would seem to defy the laws of physics. However, using quantum physics scientists…
A new atomic nucleus 149-Lutetium, consisting of 71 protons and 78 neutrons, has been synthesized in an experiment performed in the Accelerator Laboratory of University…
Experiment exploring mirror nuclei opens the door to new details about the internal structures of protons and neutrons To understand more about the particles that…
Scientists develop a new way to take a census of carbon in the ground under our feet – a crucial tool for managing climate change…
The tetra-neutron – experiment finds evidence for a long-sought particle comprising four neutrons. While all atomic nuclei except hydrogen are composed of protons and neutrons,…
When we look into the night sky, we see the universe as it once was. We know that in the past the universe was once…
A 5-Sigma Standard Model Anomaly Is Possible One of the best chances for proving beyond-the-standard-model physics relies on something called the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. The…
Engineers have successfully transferred digitally encoded information wirelessly using nuclear radiation instead of conventional technology. Radio waves and mobile phone signals rely on electromagnetic radiation…
Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles appear to communicate without a physical connection, a phenomenon Albert Einstein famously called “spooky action at a distance.” Nearly…
An international research team with participation from Mainz and Darmstadt measures neutron form factors with previously unattained precision. All known atomic nuclei and therefore almost…
Physicists use “bottle” method to make most precise measurement yet of a neutron’s lifetime. Particles called neutrons are typically very content inside atoms. They stick…
Quarks and Antiquarks at High Momentum Shake the Foundations of Visible Matter Jefferson Lab and Fermilab experiments present new results on nucleon structure. Two independent…
An international team of researchers has made the world’s most precise measurement of the neutron’s lifetime, which may help answer questions about the early universe….
Long-theorized phenomenon observed in a working reactor could improve reactor safety, according to a new study. For the first time, the long-theorized neutron-clustering effect in…
Researchers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory successfully created amorphous ice, similar to ice in interstellar space and on icy worlds…
