Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts.

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying ...

Hanacek / NIST) Physicists have succeeded in making neutrons travel in a curved parabolic waveform known as an Airy beam. This behaviour, which had previously been observed in photons and electrons ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from UB and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams ...

"There are only a few viable yet rare scenarios in the cosmos where these elements can form, and all such locations need a copious amount of neutrons. We propose a new phenomenon where those ...

Now, researchers in the US and South Korea have used a neutron beam to differentiate between genuine antique coins and fakes.

The spacecraft maker said Thursday the deal was for its Neutron rocket in a point-to-point transportation experiment. The mission is scheduled for a return-to-Earth launch on Neutron no earlier ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles.

The experiment at the spectrometer facility at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) particle accelerator presents a new method for investigating light, neutron-rich nuclei and challenges our current ...

New subatomic particle discovery may challenge the Standard Model and explain why matter dominates over antimatter in the ...

0}\beta\). 1. An unstable nucleus that has too many neutrons can decay by the emitting a beta particle to become more stable. Image caption, 2. The neutron splits into a proton and an electron ...

This is only the third hypernuclei ever discovered, and it could help scientists better understand things like the matter-antimatter asymmetry and the strange physics of neutron stars. One of the ...
