Does Λ(1405) comprise an anti-kaon and a nucleon? Physicists in Australia have produced further evidence that an excited state of the lambda baryon is a “subatomic molecule” – a meson and a nucleon ...

A new study suggests that many theorized heavy particles, if they exist at all, do not have the properties needed to explain the predominance of matter over antimatter in the universe. If confirmed, ...

A single subatomic particle that hit Earth in 2023 carried roughly 100,000 times more energy than anything humanity has ever ...

Scientists have found “strange quarks” that originated as virtual particles that sprang from nothing Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, ...

Like atoms, subatomic particles can link up to form “molecules.” A long-studied subatomic particle called Lambda (1405) is actually a molecule of two tightly knit particles, researchers report in the ...

The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Basic Sciences goes in this fifteenth edition to Anne L’Huillier (Lund University, Sweden), Paul Corkum (University of Ottawa, Canada) and Ferenc ...

The pentaquark, a particle that eluded physicists for decades before finally being discovered in 2015, is starting to give up its secrets. New data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland ...

Peter Fisher does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

Feynman diagrams are a powerful tool in condensed matter physics. By turning highly complex equations into sets of simple diagrams, the method has established itself as one of the sharpest tools in a ...

As the name implies, it is a form of cooking that involves molecules, unlike other forms of cooking that work entirely with superheated fields of floating subatomic particles. Seriously? No, of course ...
