ASSERGI, Italy – In a research lab under almost a mile of rock and a six-centimeter-thick shield created from boiled-down lead from an ancient Roman shipwreck, physicists are observing a rare form of ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. The NA62 ...

Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in how unstable particles decay, combined with rare Higgs events and a ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing ...

Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...

Alpha recoil: Conceptual drawing of the experiment, which detects the nuclear decay of individual helium nuclei by embedding radioactive atoms in a micron-sized object and measuring the object’s ...

Neutrino-free process: observing neutrinoless double beta decay could shed light on important mysteries of particle physics. A new technique to enable the detection of a hypothetical process called ...
