Researchers at CERN have just upgraded their understanding on one of the rarest particle ...

In research performed in Hall C, nuclear physicists have found that strange quarks do contribute to the structure of the proton. This result indicates that, just as previous experiments have hinted, ...

For more than half a century, particle physicists have theorized the existence of a “glueball,” a particle made entirely of gluons. While the past few decades have produced some compelling candidates, ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.–University of Michigan physicists played a leading role in the discovery of a new particle, the Omega b baryon, which is an exotic relative of the proton. It was detected for the ...

Chandra observations of RX J1856.5-3754 suggest that the matter in this collapsed star is even denser than nuclear matter, the most dense matter found on Earth. X-ray and optical data indicate that RX ...
