Scientists at CERN’s LHCb experiment have discovered a new particle made of two charm quarks and one down quark.

After years of creating highly specialized software, researchers used supercomputer clusters to finally solve the ...

A green spectacle. With protective eyewear, ISTA PHD student Andrea Stöllner takes a glimpse into the experimental chamber (in the foreground) where two laser beams trap a single particle. One ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

A complete survey of all the particle and antiparticle activity that goes on during the Sun’s 11-year cycle has found previously unknown ways these particles behave. Cosmic rays coming from outside ...

NASA outlines how Artemis II astronauts are monitored for solar particle events during their lunar mission, including spacecraft shielding, real-time tracking, and onboard radiation detection systems.
