It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...

Researchers at CERN have observed an exceptionally rare particle decay event, potentially paving the way to uncover new ...

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. The NA62 ...

Discover the fascinating process of radioactive decay, where unstable atoms transform, releasing energy in the form of alpha, beta, and gamma emissions.

Left: “Mirror” nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8 undergo beta decay, then split into two alpha particles. Right: Radioactive ions from the ATLAS accelerator at Argonne National Laboratory are suspended in ...

Radionuclide metrology and beta decay studies represent a cornerstone of modern nuclear science, merging refined measurement techniques with advanced theoretical modelling to quantify radioactivity ...

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 ...

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).
