LHCb’s discovery of proton-like particles behaving differently than their antimatter counterparts brings scientists one step closer to finding out why antimatter disappeared in the early universe.

In the middle of the last century, physicists found that protons can resonate, much like a ringing bell. Advances over the last three decades have led to 3D pictures of the proton and significant ...

For the first time in more than thirty years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous similar breakthrough was achieved in 1996. The radioactive decay of ...

Known as “islands of inversion,” these regions are found among a sea of normal nuclei. Now, a new island may have been ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this study: While scientists have a pretty good handle on how protons and neutrons form stable nuclei, there are exceptions to those well-established rules.
