A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

The experiment has been carried out at the Radioactive Ion Beam Factory RIBF at RIKEN (Japan) by a large international research team. Significantly involved were besides TU Darmstadt, scientists from ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars.

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Could future fusion reactors also serve as laboratories in which to manufacture dark matter? That’s the provocative question ...

While all atomic nuclei except hydrogen are composed of protons and neutrons, physicists have been searching for a particle consisting of two, three or four neutrons for over half a century.

Apart from flashbacks that the hit Netflix series Breaking Bad may have conjured up, most of us have likely happily forgotten what we learned in chemistry classes back in school. So here’s a quick ...

Never-before-seen particles called axions could be behind the mysterious X-rays. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. More than 400 ...

Nuclear puzzle: In the nucleus, neutrons can be stable, but free neutrons decay after a short period. Exactly how short is in dispute because experiments on neutrons stored in bottles and neutrons in ...

Protons in neutron-rich nuclei have a higher average energy than previously thought, according to a new analysis of electron scattering data that was first collected in 2004. The research appears to ...
