Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the University of Oklahoma have pinpointed a one-dimensional system where such particles can exist and have examined their ...

The VLT recently captured an image of an object known as Ve 7–27, which was long thought to be a planetary nebula. However, ...

Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

Researchers have reported new experimental results addressing the origin of rare proton-rich isotopes heavier than iron, ...

An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, providing key experimental data for understanding the structure of extremely ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we discuss the possibility that black holes can indirectly and directly produce dark matter. As well as the possibility that neutron stars and hypothetical quark and boson ...

Neutron stars are the densest observable objects in the universe. A new Finnish Centre of Excellence investigates them with a combination of astrophysics, particle physics, nuclear physics and ...

ABSTRACT: Protons and neutrons—though both sharing a “mushroom” vortex geometry in a superfluid vacuum—exhibit fundamentally different interactions with electrons and each other. In our Quark Vortex ...

Many space-lovers know the phrase “We are all made of star stuff.” And it’s true — our planet formed from the dust cloud left over from the formation of our Sun, and from the planet, all life. That ...

Mirror magic: The "cores" of the exotic nuclei oxygen-22 and silicon-22 both resemble that of oxygen-16, with eight protons and eight neutrons. The neutron-rich oxygen isotope contains an additional ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a few ...
