Researchers associated with the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility have taken the first step toward ...

Carnegie Mellon University's Professor Curtis Meyer and his research colleagues explore an uncharted world inside protons and neutrons. For the first time, researchers have provided measurements ...

Matter and antimatter particles can behave differently, but where these differences show up (and where they don’t) is still a puzzle. About 90% of people are right-handed. This human preference for ...

Charming: a neutral charm meson is made from a quark and an antiquark and can exist in superpositions of particle and antiparticle. (Courtesy: iStock/Traffic-Analyzer) The LHCb collaboration at CERN ...

The Casimir electromagnetic fluctuation forces across plasmas are analogous to so-called weak nuclear interaction forces according to new research. A new theoretical work has established a long-sought ...

Karthik Suresh’s doctoral dissertation on meson decay in the ongoing GlueX Collaboration at Jefferson Lab has just earned the prestigious 2023 Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) Thesis Prize. NEWPORT ...

The study of mesons under the influence of strong magnetic fields in nuclear matter has emerged as a pivotal area in contemporary nuclear and particle physics. In these extreme conditions, mesonic ...

“Where has all the antimatter in the universe gone?” is one of the great unanswered questions in cosmology. Now, an unexpected difference in the behaviour of two types of exotic particle seen at an ...

Russian nuclear physicists announced a discovery last week, the first they have made since the war (or been allowed to talk about). Physicists P. I. Lukirsky and N. A. Perfilov told the Academy of ...

Quarks and antiquarks are the teeny, tiny building blocks with which all matter is built, binding together to form protons and neutrons in a process explained by quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
