Symmetry has been considered an unshakable property in physics, but strange quark behavior caused it to fail in a scientific ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy ...

Scientists have successfully relocated protons outside of an antimatter laboratory with the help of an autonomous, open Penning trap. This breakthrough marks a significant step toward transporting ...

Protons are the basic building blocks of matter. Together with neutrons, they form atomic nuclei. These minute, positively ...

The BASE international research collaboration, in which Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) is strongly involved, has successfully relocated ...

The experiment continuously took data during the first physics campaign of the machine from fall 2009 until early 2013, using proton and lead-ion beams. In this paper we describe the running ...

Atoms come together in hopes of becoming more stable, thus making some of the most essential compounds we know today – carbon dioxide, water, salt, and acids. Atomic elements are arranged on the ...

Scientists have produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment. The experiment presents a new method for investigating light, neutron-rich nuclei and ...

At the interface of the jet with the stellar material, high-energy photons (that is, light) can interact with atomic nuclei, transmuting protons to neutrons. Existing atomic nuclei may also be ...
