Deep under a mountain in Italy, researchers continue to push the boundaries of science with an experiment that could rewrite the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Their experiment, known as the ...

Back when it was theorized, scientists weren’t sure they would ever detect the neutrino; now they’re searching for a version of the particle that could be even more elusive. In Germany in 1930, a ...

Researchers in Finland have made a significant breakthrough that could unravel one of the biggest mysteries in physics by reaching billionth-level precision in measuring nuclear decay energies. Led by ...

Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the 'mirror' nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8. The weak nuclear force drives the process ...

Once produced, the neutral Xi-sub-b particle travels about a millimeter before it disintegrates into two particles: the short-lived, positively charged Xi-sub-c and a long-lived, negative pion. The Xi ...
