Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have ...

Xueting Yang and his team at the CERN nuclear research center have observed that matter and antimatter behave differently during the decay of heavy, subatomic particles – known as baryons. The ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students studying stable nuclei, nuclear radiation, half life and nuclear equations. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got ...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as electroweak decay. Altering the speed with which muons decay into other ...

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 ...

It is well-known that a radioactive substance follows a fixed exponential decay, no matter what you do to it. The fact has been set in stone since 1930 when the “father” of nuclear physics Ernest ...

The study of heavy flavour physics focuses on the behaviour of particles containing heavy quarks, such as the bottom (b) and charm (c) quarks, within the framework of the Standard Model and beyond.
