A University of Melbourne researcher has placed the strongest constraints yet on certain rare decays of subatomic particles, ...

Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. Today the NA62 ...

University of Tennessee, Knoxville physicists and their colleagues have made critical measurements of the lifetime and decay ...

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 ...

Once in a very great while, an ephemeral particle called a kaon arises and then quickly decays away into three other obscure entities. Whether or not this happens in a particular way has very little ...

An unexpected behavior in a particle decay seems to disagree with the predictions of the Standard Model, despite its high reliability. It could betray the existence of still unknown forces ...

Hairs on the toes of Mexican free-tailed bats light up under ultraviolet light, but the reason is unknown, Jason Bittel reported in “Mexican free-tailed bats’ toes glow in the dark” (SN: 8/28/24).
