Does the proton decay? While this was a famous prediction of Grand Unified Theories (GUTS) developed in the 1970s and 1980s, ...

A neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. In the QCD lattice approach, a discrete space is used for the calculation. The different colours on the lattice represent the ...

Gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful kinds of explosions known in the cosmos, may help provide a piece of the puzzle when it ...

In the most common form of this decay, beta-minus decay, a neutron decays into a proton, also spitting out a negatively charged electron in order to conserve electric charge; beta-plus decay does ...

Through the weak nuclear force, one quark flavor can transmute into another. However, current data and theory indicate that ...

New experiments on thallium decay have helped determine the Sun formed over 10–20 million years, improving stellar ...

In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as ...

while boron-8 has five protons and three neutrons. Scientists have performed a new, more sensitive measurement of beta decay properties to hunt for a theorized feature of the weak nuclear force ...

Why matter dominates over antimatter in our universe has long been a major cosmic mystery to physicists. A new finding by the ...

Last month, Microsoft announced a new quantum computing chip called Majorana 1 that it expected would “realise quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years ...
