Collaboration has obtained a high-precision cosmic-ray boron spectrum in the energy range of 10 GeV/n–8 TeV/n, and discovered ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Scientists say the phenomenon could “hint at” new particles or interactions between known particles that haven’t been ...

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

John Peoples was asked in the mid-1990s about the value of doing pure scientific research — that which has no predetermined benefit. “Knowledge is a form of wealth,” he replied. “It is an ...

"Remarkable" new model of quantum double-exchange ferromagnets could produce fresh insights into these ...
