A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

University of Chicago researchers have begun examining data collected by a device transported by a NASA balloon that flew ...

Companies such as IBM, TCS and L&T are associated with the project. Currently a nascent field, quantum computing could ...

Protons make up most of the regular matter in the universe, but we're still figuring out a few of their quirks... Or quarks. Join Hank Green and learn why protons are still so mysterious to scientists ...

CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven coalescence after collisions cool.

Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein is now out on Netflix, with the monster (played by Jacob Elordi) shown to be far more human than his titular creator. The ending of the Netflix film differs from both ...

Since we first saw HIM‘s trailer, we felt great excitement at the prospect of the movie. A football horror movie makes all of the sense in the world to us. The sport lends itself well to a tradition ...

For the first time, researchers have measured the speed at which protons move through charged water molecules, shedding light on one of the most fundamental chemical reactions. Researchers at Yale ...

The movement of protons through electrically charged water is one of the most fundamental processes in chemistry. It is evident in everything from eyesight to energy storage to rocket fuel — and ...

Scientists have proposed a new kind of subatomic particle to explain another particle’s mysterious disintegration. What just happened?
