Membership of the CERN research centre opens all sorts of doors, but it doesn't mean we're gearing up for nuclear energy ...

Researchers at Microsoft have announced the creation of the first “topological qubits” in a device that stores information in ...

Electrons are incredibly fast. Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing their behavior has been challenging. Now researchers have suggested a new method to make visualizing electron ...

The World's Most Expensive Substance Costs More Than the Global Economy Imagine a material so rare and difficult to produce ...

MIT physicist 'Riccardo Comin' successfully mapped an electron’s shape in motion, unlocking breakthroughs in quantum physics, ...

Three-nucleon force affects nuclear stability, impacting element formation and stellar evolution. The force increases energy ...

Get up to speed on gamma rays, the radiation responsible for creating the Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World.

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

A physicist explains how atoms arrange themselves into molecules – and how scientists are able to image these tiny bits of matter that make up everything around you.

we carried out a detailed investigation on this subject and also on the absorption of slow neutrons in rare earth elements. The latter measurements were carried out chiefly to ascertain the ...

The cosmos now contained a vast array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons — the raw materials that would become the building blocks for everything that exists today.

Atom optics is the study of the wave-like properties of beams of atoms. Wave–particle duality — a central principle of quantum mechanics — implies that effects traditionally associated with ...
