The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take ...

Matter is a lush tapestry, woven from a complex assortment of threads. Diverse subatomic particles weave together to fabricate the universe we inhabit. But a century ago, people believed that matter ...

The study of atomic nuclei is by now a very active and developed field, with both fundamental and technological implications. Its more fundamental spin-off, particle physics, while constantly refining ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

There Aldo Antognini’s team generates so-called muonic helium-3, in which the two electrons of the helium atom are replaced by an elementary particle called a muon. This allows the nuclear radius to ...

From the early scattering experiments of Rutherford to the colliding beam experiments that produced the top quark with a mass almost as large as Rutherford's gold nucleus, particle beams have been the ...

Physics has demonstrated that the everyday phenomena we experience are governed by universal principles applying at time and distance scales far beyond normal human experience. Physics has ...

The LXXI International conference "NUCLEUS - 2021. Nuclear physics and elementary particle physics. Nuclear physics technologies" will be held virtually from September 20 to 25, 2021. The Conference ...

Elementary particle physics—the study of the fundamental constituents and nature of the universe—is poised to take the next significant step in answering questions that humans have asked for millennia ...

Taken from the March 2021 issue of Physics World, where it first appeared under the headline "Rethinking nuclear for a greener planet" Troels Schönfeldt, co-founder and chief executive of Danish start ...

This year the Corfu2026 activities consist of eight events (one school, and seven workshops), bringing together world-class scientists and young researchers to interact and forge new collaborations.
