A comprehensive review explores how particles containing heavy quarks (known as charm and bottom hadrons) interact in a hot, dense environment called hadronic matter. The authors have published a ...

12 telescopes were used to uncover the odd behavior of a pulsar. "Astronomers have now found that sudden ejections of matter, ...

A new University of Maryland study has revealed a coordinated dance of microscopic particles—breaking up and clustering back together in just seconds—after receiving electrical and chemical stimuli.

Illustration of cesium atoms entering an ordered state after being chilled to a few billionths of a degree above absolute ...

On March 24, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN reported a new milestone in our understanding of the subtle yet profound ...

The LHCb experiment at CERN has revealed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of particles called baryons. “The reason why it took longer to observe CP violation in baryons than in mesons is down ...

The standard model of particle physics, which describes interactions between fundamental particles, is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of the twentieth century. However, some aspects of ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. – Take a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as ...

A challenge to space scientists to better understand our hazardous near-Earth space environment has been set in a new study. A challenge to space scientists to better understand our hazardous ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...

NASA’s upgraded Cold Atom Lab is turning the International Space Station into a frontier for quantum research, creating ultra ...
