the central neutron detector can detect neutrons at all such angles. The only problem it faced initially was proton ...

Quarks are the reason protons have a positive charge. Each quark has a fraction of an electric charge. A proton has two up ...

But they and other researchers were finding that the proton did not seem to be the only particle in the nucleus ... He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron.

Charge-parity violation is thought to explain why there’s more matter than antimatter in the universe. Scientists just spotted it in a new place.

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...

Neutrons have no charge. Protons are positively charged. So the relative charge of a nucleus depends only upon the number of protons. The relative charge of a nucleus is the same as its proton ...

A neutron star's almost incomprehensible density causes protons and electrons to combine ... Few of the known existing neutron stars are pulsars. Only about 1,000 pulsars are known to exist ...

What's more, this violation has previously been only detected in particles made up of quark-antiquark pairs, called mesons.

Understanding the origin of heavy elements on the periodic table is one of the most challenging open problems in all of ...
