Isospin mixing is a concept in nuclear physics that refers to the symmetry in atomic nuclei induced by the nearly identical properties between protons and…
Nuclear physicists have discovered a revolutionary way to use the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory to…
New data show that local fluctuations in the nuclear strong force may influence the spin orientation of particles called phi mesons (made of two quarks…
A light source (left) sends a beam of light through a special material, which changes the direction of polarization — by an angle that is…
Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that is believed to make up a large portion of the universe. It is called “dark” because…

Large Hadron Collider Successfully Restarted at Record Energy: Revving Up the Search for Dark Matter
The Large Hadron Collider detectors started recording high-energy collisions at the unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV. The Large Hadron Collider is once again delivering proton…
New results from the Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) experiment confirm anomaly suggesting new physics possibility. Sterile neutrino, physics fundamentals among interpretations of anomalous…
An interdisciplinary team led by Boston College physicists has discovered a new particle – or a previously undetectable quantum excitation – known as the axial…
