Members of the STAR collaboration, a group of physicists collecting and analyzing data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), have published a new high-precision ...
She co-created the French Atomic Energy Commission in 1945 and held a six-year term, promoting nuclear research and development of the first French nuclear reactor. She later became director of the ...
Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise measurements in particle physics.
In a new study, scientists have shown that chemical receptors that plants use to recognize nitrogen-fixing bacteria have developed the same function independently on at least three separate occasions ...
Low nitrogen availability is the number one limitation to plant growth in most ecosystems. Farmers compensate by adding nitrogen-rich fertilizers to their crops, which is expensive and harmful to the ...
Physicists with the STAR Collaboration have reported their strongest evidence yet for a long-sought feature in nuclear physics known as the “critical point.” The team analyzed gold-ion collision data ...
The biological study of species offers no equivalent to such transmutation. An individual which belongs to a given species will always belong to that species, come what may. And assigning an ...
