A research team led by Prof. Wang Qun from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has made significant progress in the theoretical study of ...

While nuclear physicists know the strong interaction is what holds together the particles at the heart of matter, we still have a lot to learn about this fundamental force. Results published earlier ...

A heavy particle with an unusual decay pattern discovered by the Belle experiment at KEK in Japan is the latest addition to the meson family tree The Belle detector If we had to name a modern-day ...

It’s a story with a hint of both “man bites dog” and “dog bites man” about it. Physicists working on the CMS and LHCb experiments at CERN have independently seen an incredibly rare decay of a particle ...

Fermilab has met the exacting standard to claim discovery of astonishingly rapid transitions between matter and antimatter: 3 trillion oscillations per second for the B-sub-s meson particle This is ...

Smashing protons together in search of strange particles, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva say they’ve discovered signs of particle decays that have long been predicted, but have ...

A University of Melbourne researcher has placed the strongest constraints yet on certain rare decays of subatomic particles, narrowing the window for where new "hidden" particles could be lurking.
