What makes up the matter we perceive in the universe? To start, there are the usual suspects, like electrons, protons, quarks and neutrinos. But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I'm ...

image: Peter Hurck has been searching for strange particles, named such because they contain strange quarks, since beginning work on his Ph.D. As the 2023 Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) ...

In a unique analysis of experimental data, nuclear physicists have made the first-ever observations of how lambda particles, so-called "strange matter," are produced by a specific process called ...

all particles are put into the group's hadrons and leptons leptons are fundamental particles and they include the electron muon that's just a heavy electron basically and neutrino that has no charge ...

Dark matter has bewildered scientists for centuries. It makes up most of the universe’s matter, but it can’t be seen directly. Now, a group of scientists worldwide think they’ve found an unexpected ...

Earth's surface teems with quartz. But on a giant world 1,300 light-years away, quartz zips through the planet's clouds. "We were thrilled!" David Grant, a scientist at the University of Bristol who ...

On Tuesday, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) switched on its data collectors, beginning a new run after several years of downtime for maintenance and upgrades. But even as particle physicists ...

(CNN) — Scientists are trying to solve a decade-long mystery by determining the identity of anomalous signals detected from below ice in Antarctica. The strange radio waves emerged during a search for ...

A new physics result two decades in the making has found a surprisingly complex path for the production of strange matter within atoms. “This data is the first time we study the lambda in the [atomic] ...
