The question of what protons or neutrons are made up of has an apparently simple answer: quarks and gluons. However, when it ...

Nuclear scientists have developed a new theoretical approach that offers a more precise calculation of the 3D motion of ...

When a star dies in a supernova, one possible outcome is for the remains to become a neutron star. Inside a neutron star, the ...

(Atoms have protons and neutrons in their nucleus, and surrounding that, they have their electrons arranged in orbitals., Orbitals describe the location of an electron as well as its wave-like ...

Scientists have recently identified electrons and positrons with the highest energies ever recorded on Earth. They provide evidence of cosmic processes emitting colossal amounts of energy, the origins ...

Electricity means the presence or motion of electrical charge. When the charge is moving from its source (origin) to sink ...

Protons and neutrons–known collectively as nucleons–are both the building blocks of matter, but one of these particles has ...

The atom is a complex system of particles. It's made up of a central nucleus consisting of protons and neutrons, called nucleons, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus. Nobel prize-winning ...

Scientists from the CNRS, a consortium of German universities, and the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik working at the ...

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams achieved the highest-power beam of uranium ions ever in the world. "We're already now in ...
