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

When an ordinary beam of neutrons strikes the team’s silicon grating, the millions of scored lines on the grating convert the ...

From the powdered wings of a butterfly to the icy spines of a snowflake, symmetry is a common feature in nature. This often ...

Now, researchers in the US and South Korea have used a neutron beam to differentiate between genuine antique coins and fakes.

Although our universe is mostly normal matter, antimatter isn’t so hard to create — supernovae, black holes, and even bananas ...

Test of quantum electrodynamics circumvents insufficient knowledge of nuclear structure Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic ...

"We don't know the frequency, so we need to keep tuning and trying different ones, like searching for a good radio station when you arrive in a different country or drive long distances.

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped ... nucleon by shooting a high-energy electron at it and watching how ...

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is essential for a wide range ... and contributions from excited vibronic states. Three illustrative examples of vibronically nonadiabatic PCET are discussed.

LEP – the largest electron-positron accelerator ever built – was dismantled ... which drives the Sun, for example. Observing the creation and decay of the short-lived Z boson was a critical test of ...

The positron is the antimatter counterpart to the electron, and therefore has the same mass as the electron but the opposite charge. When a nucleus undergoes positron decay, the result is a new ...
