Neutron stars, the collapsed remnants of massive stars, hold the densest matter in the universe. These cosmic objects are ...

Three-nucleon force affects nuclear stability, impacting element formation and stellar evolution. The force increases energy ...

Previously this reaction enabled the measurement of protons. However, detecting neutrons in DVCS has been a challenging task. For the first time, the researchers were able to detect neutrons using ...

The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

Researchers are delving into the world of starquakes to understand the densest matter in the universe within neutron stars.

He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of these ideas. Chadwick kept the problem in the back of his mind while working on other things.

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

A neutron star's almost incomprehensible density causes protons and electrons to combine into neutrons—the process that gives such stars their name. The composition of their cores is unknown ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a highly sensitive sensor ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Originally discovered in 2007 by American ...
