Mid-20th-century physics discovered proton resonance, but understanding of the resonating proton’s 3D structure remains limited. Recent experiments at the Jefferson Lab have explored these structures,…
Researchers have successfully synthesized an exotic, but very short-lived, Lambda resonance known as Λ(1405) for the first time. Scientists at Osaka University were part of…
Protons collide with their fellow protons and neutrons with their fellow neutrons more often than predicted. Physicists peer into mirror nuclei. The atomic nucleus is…
Scientists have announced the experimental discovery of a tetraneutron, a new and exotic state of matter that could also have properties that are useful in…
In a new experiment, scientists created two time crystals inside the superfluid, and brought them to touch. Time crystals were long believed to be impossible…

Reactor Operator Nicholas Thompson of Los Alamos National Laboratory helps to set up the neutron clustering measurements at the Walthousen Reactor Critical Facility at Rensselaer…
Nine seconds. An eternity in some scientific experiments; an unimaginably small amount in the grand scheme of the universe. And just long enough to confound…
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have measured a property of the neutron more precisely than ever before. In the process, they found out…
