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

The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through ... of a specific particle being created in an electron or proton collision with the nucleus.

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons ... in an electron or proton ...

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 ... of the electron and James Chadwick's 1932 identification of the neutron.

From the discovery of gravity to the first mission to defend Earth from an asteroid, here are the most important physics ...

For many years, scientists believed that fundamental particles like protons and neutrons that form an atomic ... specific ...

and was instrumental in coming up with the concept for a high-precision detector at the lab’s Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), a tool that lets scientists discover more about the ...
