Unstable atoms emit fast-moving particles that can damage cells in the human body. Some atoms are far more unstable than ...
Nobel laureates demonstrate quantum tunnelling in macroscopic systems, impacting quantum computing and highlighting the ...
Members of the STAR collaboration, a group of physicists collecting and analyzing data from particle collisions at the ...
A recent Physical Review Letters study presents a new model for quark star merger ejecta that could resolve whether these ...
We’ve reached the limit of a very successful way to make new elements in the lab. In new research, scientists unveil a new take on that technology and report its success. The heaviest elements could ...
As the nucleus splits, it also releases its neutrons. These neutrons bounce around at incredible speeds until some eventually ...
Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in ...
Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That's normal physics. But in the quantum world, ...
Could black holes help explain the origins of high-energy cosmic radiation? The universe is filled with many forms of ...
