Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate fate of the universe. Pioneering research in quantum field theory around 50 ...

An experiment conducted in Italy, with theory support from Newcastle University, has produced the first experimental evidence of vacuum decay. The ultracold atoms lab of the Pitaevskii Center for Bose ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...

Solar activity: does the Sun affect radioactive decay? Image of a solar flare taken in 2014 by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft. (Courtesy: NASA/SDO) A new study of the radioactive decay ...

Researchers at CERN have observed an exceptionally rare particle decay event, potentially paving the way to uncover new ...

Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...

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 ...

Scientists have produced the first experimental evidence of vacuum decay. An experiment conducted in Italy, with theory support from Newcastle University, has produced the first experimental evidence ...
