An experiment that offers a peek inside the behavior of subatomic particles called quarks could help answer questions about why the universe is made of matter, and might even be evidence of new, ...

Antimatter is a strange beast. Physicists believe that for every particle that exists in our universe, there is an antiparticle which is identical but has the opposite charge. But when antimatter ...

The universe may contain extremely dense and exotic hypothetical cosmic objects known as strange quark stars. While astrophysicists continue to debate quark stars' existence, a team of physicists has ...

Scientists on the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN have discovered a new way in which matter and antimatter behave differently. With 99.9999 percent statistical certainty, LHCb ...

In particle physics, the term "strange matter" or "strange quark matter" refers to a hypothetical, soup-like existence, made of a trio of quarks. But what's so "strange" with this matter? According to ...

All of the mysterious worlds orbit superdense neutron stars. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Astronomers have identified about a ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA - The world's most advanced particle accelerator for investigating the quark structure of the atom's nucleus has just charmed physicists with a new capability. The production of charm ...

Physicists have confirmed that matter and antimatter decay differently for elementary particles containing charmed quarks. The findings may also indicate new physics beyond the Standard Model, which ...

The quark model was an intellectual revolution for physics. Physicists were faced with an ever-growing zoo of unstable particles that didn’t seem to have a role in the Universe around us. Quarks ...

Astronomers have identified about a half dozen exoplanets that may be made of an exotic matter known as “strange matter” unknown on Earth. The atoms that make up conventional matter have nuclei made ...

The world's most advanced particle accelerator for investigating the quark structure of the atom's nucleus has just charmed physicists with a new capability. The production of charm quarks in J/psi ...
