With the formation of the first galaxies, the Universe burst into light (let there be light), bringing the cosmic dark ages to an end; and resulting in two different populations, like some of the ...

The discovery of a boson like particle is evidence for Higgs’ mathematical theory that energy becomes matter due to a field that provides resistance to some massless particles; thus giving them the ...

Renowned theoretical physicist A.P. Balachandran, known for his work in particle physics, passed away in Coimbatore.

Author Dava Sobel discusses how she discovered the many forgotten female scientists who were mentored by Marie Curie in early ...

Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at the LHC generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out ...

In the cores of neutron stars, the crushing pressures can squeeze apart atomic nuclei, and maybe even protons and neutrons themselves. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the ...

A research team including Kavli IPMU has found neutrinos from galaxy NGC 1068 might come from helium nuclei smashing into UV ...

He’s a quantum physicist at Washington State University. He told me that protons – along with neutrons – form the nucleus in the middle of an atom. “Atoms make up all the stuff that we see ...

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center / S. Wiessinger As a flare’s ejected material cools and expands, the protons and neutrons in atoms can become rearranged, creating heavy metals. Elements are ...
