The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

Here’s a great first line for a research paper: “Lightning and thunderclouds are natural particle accelerators.” Heck yes I’m going to keep reading after that. A team of Japanese researchers detected ...

In our daily lives, the sun seems constant and quiet, sedately shining at a steady pace. But looks can be deceiving: our star can also blast out powerful solar storms, huge explosions of energy and ...

The nuclei that exist inside atoms of elements readily found in nature — such as carbon, oxygen, aluminum, iron, copper and gold — consist of fixed combinations of protons and neutrons. But if these ...

Scientists around the world are being kept in suspense by the negligible mass of neutrinos, subatomic particles that could be matter and antimatter at the same time. Now, researchers have used one of ...

Researchers have demonstrated the existence of a tetraneutron, a subatomic structure once thought unlikely to exist. Iowa State University researchers have helped demonstrate the existence of a ...

Subatomic particles streaming from the Earth’s interior carry important evidence of the planet’s origins. As children, many of us played at the possibility of digging a hole so deep it could reach the ...

Scientists around the world are being kept in suspense by the negligible mass of neutrinos, subatomic particles that could be matter and antimatter at the same time. Now, researchers from the ...

Nuclear submarines might provide rogue nations with a path to nuclear weapons. But neutrinos could help reveal attempts to go from boats to bombs. Neutrinos, lightweight subatomic particles that are ...

The one thing everyone can agree on is that something strange happened in the year 774, and that whatever it was sent a burst of high-energy particles into the Earth’s atmosphere. Exactly what that ...

Of all the subatomic particles that have any mass at all, the neutrino is the lightest by far. In comparison, the electron, itself a quantum featherweight, has a mass that is at least 500,000 times ...
