A University of Melbourne researcher has placed the strongest constraints yet on certain rare decays of subatomic particles, ...

Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. This is an ...

There was a bump in the middle of the night. On June 14, 2012, Johns Hopkins physics and astronomy professor Andrei Gritsan analyzed data in a small meeting room at the CERN in Switzerland. He worked ...

Once in a very great while, an ephemeral particle called a kaon arises and then quickly decays away into three other obscure entities. Whether or not this happens in a particular way has very little ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...

A surprising and rare particle decay has left scientists puzzled as kaons, particles made up of quarks, are decaying in ways that defy current physics models. Could this anomaly indicate the existence ...

Hairs on the toes of Mexican free-tailed bats light up under ultraviolet light, but the reason is unknown, Jason Bittel reported in “Mexican free-tailed bats’ toes glow in the dark” (SN: 8/28/24).
