When an ordinary beam of neutrons strikes the team’s silicon grating, the millions of scored lines on the grating convert the ...

A theoretical study by RIKEN physicists, published in Physics Letters B, has accurately determined the interaction between a ...

A new detector at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has successfully observed ...

Rutherford also put out the idea that there could be a particle with mass but no charge. He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of ...

In 1932, another British physicist, James Chadwick, discovered the neutron, another particle located within the nucleus. With the electron, proton, and neutron, scientists thought they had found ...

When you put a strange quark with two other quarks you end up with a hyperon, a particle similar to the neutron or proton but ...

This symbol shows that chlorine has 35 particles in the nucleus (protons and neutrons), 17 of which are protons. It also tells us that chlorine has 18 neutrons (35 - 17) and, as the number of ...
