A new particle detector has passed a crucial test, demonstrating it's ready to start investigating quark-gluon plasma, the ...

Mirror magic: The "cores" of the exotic nuclei oxygen-22 and silicon-22 both resemble that of oxygen-16, with eight protons and eight neutrons. The neutron-rich oxygen isotope contains an additional ...

An experiment carried out at CERN's ISOLDE facility has determined the western shore of a small island of atomic nuclei, ...

Lauda and his colleagues solve some of the problems with topological qubits by using a class of theoretical particles they ...

Employing workers in your small business costs more than just the hourly wages or salaries you pay them. You incur additional costs, such as taxes, benefits and supplies, which increase your actual ...

This week, this enormous scientific facility, ten years in the making, will begin its hunt for the most elusive particles in ...

It sounds like a strange question, but to biologists it makes all the sense in the world. Yeast cells tip the scales at about ...

The atomic nucleus was discovered over a century ago, yet many questions remain about the force that keeps its constituent protons and neutrons together ... of inversion" associated with the neutron ...

Researchers have discovered that reef-building corals use chloride ions, rather than amino acids, to absorb visible light in their light-sensing ...

Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

Nucleons, which include protons and neutrons, are the composite particles that make up atomic nuclei. While these particles have been widely studied in the past, their internal structure has not yet ...
