A rather unassuming particle is playing an important role in the hunt for subatomic oddities. Similar to protons and neutrons, mesons are composed of quarks bound together by the strong nuclear force.

CERN physicists observed matter-antimatter imbalance in a baryon. Antiparticles possess the same mass as matter but opposite ...

The new measurement from LHCb has found differences between baryons and antibaryons, which are made of three quarks and three ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the ...

Physicists have discovered that silicon-22 reveals a new proton magic number offering critical insights into nuclear ...

Nicole Havlik of the Edgerton Explorit Center gave a program called "Sparks" for about 80 youngsters and adults at the Grand Island Public Library.

A groundbreaking collaboration between Los Alamos scientists and Duke University has resurrected a nearly forgotten 1938 ...

The question of where atoms come from requires a lot of physics to be answered completely – and even then, physicists only have good guesses to explain how some atoms are formed.

While radiation treatments designed to kill cancer cells have come a long way, scientists and doctors are always exploring ...

The influence of electrostatic interactions on the free energy of proton coupled electron transfer in biomimetic oxomanganese complexes inspired by the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II ...

Many heavy atoms form from a supernova explosion, the remnants of which are shown in this image. NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage ...

Protonation of the strong base methylamine CH3NH2 by carbonic acid H2CO3 in aqueous solution, HOCOOH···NH2CH3 → HOCOO–···+HNH2CH3, has been previously studied ( J. Phys. Chem. B 2016, 109, 2271−2280; ...
