Lithium-ion batteries are the backbone of mobile devices and electric cars, but lithium can be costly and explosive. Proton batteries—which rely on more abundant materials—have been touted as a good ...

Scientists theorize there could be subatomic particles we have yet to discover. Here are five of the weirdest, rarest ...

At the bottom of the chart are the fundamental particles—quarks, bosons (eg Higgs, w +, w -, z ), protons, neutrons, ...

Physicists will use these predictions and experiments to learn about quarks’ small transverse motion within protons and how that motion contributes to proton spin. This work was supported by the ...

Scientists have a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons. Their approach uses quantum information science to map out how particle tracks streaming from ...

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a new proton battery that could potentially replace lithium-ion batteries.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons.

Writer Chetna Krishna follows CERN’s “coolest” transport, a test of a system to ship stored antimatter across the continent.

From nearly indestructible metals, like tungsten, to delicate clouds in the sky, atoms make up everything around us. But do ...

Electrons, those fundamental particles that orbit atomic nuclei, are central to electromagnetism and chemical processes. Ever ...

To address these problems, the CLAS12 collaboration utilized the Central Neutron Detector, which was developed at France’s ...

This theory-based approach provides the first accurate calculations of how the distribution of quarks' transverse momentum within protons changes with collision energy. The approach will provide ...
