Different neutron states could explain why different experiments produce different figures for how long neutrons survive ...

Scientists demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a world ...

But the particles are truly tiny, with a mass 1,838 times smaller than the already-minuscule proton. So how could ... J.J. Thomson's 1897 discovery of the electron and James Chadwick's 1932 ...

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have used supercomputer simulations to predict electric charge distributions in ...

For the first time, LBL researchers have captured direct images of the Wigner molecular crystal using scanning tunneling ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...

The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it ...

Electrons typically travel at high speeds, zipping through matter unbound. In the 1930s, physicist Eugene Wigner predicted that electrons could be coaxed into stillness at low densities and cold ...

A special particle trap designed to fit in a truck let researchers haul 70 protons across the CERN campus. Antiprotons may be next.

The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it ...

In response to the increasing demand for neutron production facilities, this presentation explores the performance of compact electron linacs as drivers for neutron sources, discussing whether they ...
