You and me, we’re matter. Everyone you know is matter. Everything on Earth, spare a few particles, is matter. Most of the things in space are matter. But we don’t have convincing reasons why there ...

Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. Today the NA62 ...

So, the “single particle” of plutonium is more like a mini-dust bunny infected with “millions or billions of atoms” ( Michael Ketterer, Aug. 8, Open Forum). He describes a micron-sized particle which ...

There was a bump in the middle of the night. On June 14, 2012, Johns Hopkins physics and astronomy professor Andrei Gritsan analyzed data in a small meeting room at the CERN in Switzerland. He worked ...

Six years after discovering the Higgs boson, physicists have observed how the particle decays—a monumental contribution to scientists’ understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics and the ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...

Aug. 28 (UPI) --Particle physicists have finally witnessed the decay of a Higgs boson particle into two bottom quarks. Models predict Higgs boson particles decay into two bottom quarks 60 percent of ...
