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

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. If dark matter particles decay, then scientists could hunt for signs of this process, including X-ray or gamma-ray radiation or ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Laura holds a Master's in Experimental Neuroscience and a Bachelor's in Biology ...

A surprising and rare particle decay has left scientists puzzled as kaons, particles made up of quarks, are decaying in ways that defy current physics models. Could this anomaly indicate the existence ...

Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing investigation of CP symmetry. The anomalies could be ...

The NA62 Collaboration has dramatically reduced the uncertainty in its measurement of an extremely rare particle decay, in ...

For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay. Scientists have previously observed interesting ...

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...

Scientists have proposed a new kind of subatomic particle to explain another particle’s mysterious disintegration. The kaon, a special case of meson particle, is made of one quark and one antiquark.

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting stronger and stronger upper limits, so alternative scenarios have to be ...
