Nuclear physicists are trying to understand how particles called quarks and gluons combine to form hadrons, composite particles made of two or three quarks. To study this process, called hadronization ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- NASA's Time History of Events and Macroscale Interaction during Substorms (THEMIS) spacecraft combined with computer models have helped track the origin of the energetic particles in ...

Scientists have developed a powerful analysis method for live cell microscopy images in order to track the movements of biological particles in a cell. This so-called probabilistic particle tracking ...

Nuclear physicists have found a new way to see inside nuclei by tracking interactions between particles of light and gluons. The method relies on harnessing a new type of quantum interference between ...

Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...

A new trigger system will expand what ATLAS scientists can look for during high-energy collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. For its next big performance, the Large Hadron Collider will restart in ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have seemingly achieved the impossible — they've discovered a way to observe mysterious quantum particles even without directly observing them. How does ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Air pollution is a serious and often underestimated health threat in the U.S. It is linked to over 50,000 premature deaths each ...

Nuclear physicists have found a new way to see details inside atomic nuclei. They do so by tracking interactions between particles of light and gluons—the gluelike particles that hold together the ...
