When electrons are cooled down, their energy reduces and they arrange in a stable-grid-like structure due to their mutual ...

Fermilab engineers are developing innovative solutions to build durable particle detector targets for neutrino experiments.

For the first time, two dark matter experiments have detected a neutrino fog, a dense cloud of neutrinos. This discovery is ...

Nuclear fission has powered our world and medical advancements for decades. What exactly happens when an atom's nucleus splits into two parts?

Mitochondria divide to share the load when nutrients are scarce — plus, how smashing atomic nuclei together helps identify their shapes.

The nucleus of the Xenon atom can assume different shapes depending on the balance of internal forces at play. As two Xenon atoms collide in the CERN experiment, extremely hot conditions are created ...

Fine tuning an experimental setup improved a detector's sensitivity to neutrinos and perhaps eventually dark matter—two ...

With advancements in imaging technology, the first successful dark matter detector might turn out to be an ancient rock. The visible universe — every potato, gas giant, steamy romance novel, black ...

Medical imaging is no longer in Kansas, Toto, as a team led by Penn State researchers brings traditional black and white ...

A simulation by US theoretical physicists has provided the first fully microscopic characterization of the moment an atom ...

Analyzing billion-year-old rocks, researchers at Virginia Tech hope to find traces of dark matter. The idea was first ...

Neutron stars are as dense as the nucleus of an atom. They contain a star’s worth of matter in a sphere only a dozen ...
