The ALICE Collaboration takes a step further in addressing the question of whether a quark–gluon plasma can be formed in ...

CERN team discovers heavy proton, advancing understanding of strong force LHCb spots ultra-brief, charm-rich baryon that ...

A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei.

The study is part of Henna Kokkonen's doctoral thesis. Credit: Tommi Sassi For the first time in almost 30 years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous ...

The Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new particle, the 80th identified so far by the world's most powerful particle ...

For the first time in more than thirty years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous similar breakthrough was achieved in 1996. The radioactive decay of ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the existence of a doubly charmed baryon, a particle that behaves like a heavier cousin of the proton but contains two charm quarks instead of the lighter ...

A new atomic nucleus 149-Lutetium, consisting of 71 protons and 78 neutrons, has been synthesized. A new atomic nucleus 149-Lutetium, consisting of 71 protons and 78 neutrons, has been synthesized in ...

Inside each proton or neutron there are three quarks bound by gluons. Until now, it has often been assumed that two of them form a "stable" pair known as a diquark. It seems, however, that it's the ...
