Scientists have developed a method for generating fast, bright proton beams using a high-repetition-rate laser-plasma ...

Chadwick's own research focused on radioactivity. In 1919 Rutherford had discovered the proton, a positively charged particle within the atom's nucleus. But they and other researchers were finding ...

Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience quantum entanglement. Entangled particles are connected to each other ...

The largest solar storm in two decades hit Earth in May 2024. For several days, wave after wave of high-energy charged ...

Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast have made a ground breaking discovery – they’ve created a simple way to make high quality proton beams using high intensity lasers.

scientists discovered that some atomic nuclei—the center part of atoms, which make up all matter—were more stable than others ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a highly sensitive sensor ...

A historic solar storm in May 2024 not only triggered spectacular auroras but also created two new temporary radiation belts ...

The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs), originally designed for detecting photons, can also accurately detect high-energy protons. This unexpected finding ...
