In a recent study, ALICE scientists measured the way that lead ions colliding in the LHC sometimes transform into gold and ...

Scientists have successfully relocated protons outside of an antimatter laboratory with the help of an autonomous, open Penning trap. This breakthrough marks a significant step toward transporting ...

Protons are the basic building blocks of matter. Together with neutrons, they form atomic nuclei. These minute, positively ...

For the first time, the extremely neutron-rich hydrogen isotope ⁶H has been produced and measured using an electron ...

The BASE team’s solution was to develop a device that can transport trapped antiprotons on a truck for substantial distances. It is this device, known as BASE-STEP (for Symmetry Tests in Experiments ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

An international collaboration of scientists working with the FAIR Phase 0 program at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für ...

A puzzling discovery in NGC 1068 shows a flood of neutrinos but weak gamma rays. Scientists now suspect helium atoms ...

As such, gold nuclei emerged from the collision and hit the LHC beam pipe, where they immediately fragmented into single protons, neutrons and other particles. So effectively, lead transmutated ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...

Dark matter makes up a large portion of the universe, but we've never seen it. Here's what we know, what it might be, and why it could change everything. More than 80% of the universe's matter is ...
