Physicists discovered neutrinos 70 years ago. The ghostly particles still have secrets to tell

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

Morphological Characterization of Uranyl Fluoride Particles via Atomic Force Microscopy

Uranium hexafluoride (UF6) undergoes a rapid hydrolysis reaction when exposed to atmospheric water. In addition to producing hazardous HF gas, the hydrolysis reaction produces uranyl fluoride (UO2F2), ...

Scientists Have Been Hunting This Elusive Particle for a Decade. It Doesn’t Exist.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...
