On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming that the United States was no ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help unravel the mystery of dark matter. The Standard Model of particle physics o ...

Far lighter than other ions collided at the LHC, oxygen (and neon) could tell us about conditions in the early universe.

Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu of the ...

The world’s largest atom smasher has conducted its first-ever collisions between protons and oxygen ions, as part of an ...

Proton pump inhibitor use is implicated in decline in kidney graft function after transplantation. Extended proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use is associated with decline in graft function in kidney ...

The invisible dark matter is one of the universe's biggest mysteries, and its existence is confirmed only by the ...

While gluons are responsible for generating most of the visible mass in the universe, their role inside nuclei remains poorly ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

Conventional accelerators use oscillating electric fields to drive charged particles to relativistic speeds. The Large Hadron ...
