A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in determining fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. The team conducted laser spectroscopy experiments on muonic helium-3. Muonic helium-3 is ...

(Nanowerk News) In experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, an international research collaboration has measured the radius of the atomic nucleus of helium five times more precisely than ever ...

Hydrogen and helium separate at pressures and temperatures found within the gas giant Jupiter’s marbled exterior is pretty familiar territory, but it’s still not clear what happens far below the cloud ...

The surprise discovery that one of the lightest elements in the Universe can bind to iron under high pressure to form iron helide means we may have misunderstood the chemistry making up the ...

In Wednesday’s issue of Nature, a new paper describes a potentially useful way of measuring the interactions between normal matter and exotic particles, like antiprotons and unstable items like kaons ...

For decades, researchers have toyed with antimatter while searching for new laws of physics. These laws would come in the form of forces or other phenomena that would strongly favor matter over ...

In experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, an international research collaboration has measured the radius of the atomic nucleus of helium five times more precisely than ever before. With the ...
