A new theory developed by physicist Michael Sarrazin at the University of Namur, in Belgium, argues that there is no known limitation preventing neutrons from leaking into other, parallel universes.
In brane cosmology, numerous universes exist beside our own, bumping against each other and possibly interacting throu... |

A decade-long investigation of the matter-antimatter imbalance that allowed everything in the Universe to form has finally concluded at the US National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST). The team says that this was the most precise study of its kind ever conducted. What experts analyzed was why matter w... |

Under very specific conditions, spherical and incompressible neutrons may take on cubic symmetry. According to a new study, this can only happen inside the extreme-pressure environment of neutron stars, whose cores are extremely dense. The latest calculations indicate that a tablespoon of matter from the core of such... |

Starting in early 2011, repair and upgrade work will begin at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE), one of the most powerful linear proton accelerators in the United States. Its capability to support experiments and tests will be effectively doubled once work is completed.The decision to allot the necessary... |

Over the past few years, making more sense of superconductivity in complex copper oxides has been one of the most avidly researched areas of physics. Now, investigators provide more insight into this phenomenon, by discovering an entirely new type of magnetic waves at action in the material. The group that made the f... |

Researchers at the Indiana University Bloomington have recently been awarded a $5 million grant, which seeks to promote and support next generation research into neutrons and their behavior. The funding will fuel the Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) at the university. Experts here will collaborate closely with collea... |

The governor of Fukui Prefecture, in Japan, currently holds to his word the future of the experimental Monju nuclear power plant. The reason why this project is tremendously important is because it is the first fast breeder reactor (FBR) in the world that has ever achieved criticality. After more than 14 years o... |

Many physicists today believe that the elementary particles known as neutrons may hold the key to a wide range of improvements in many fields of science nowadays. This may seem a bit off for those of you who know that these particles are neutrally-charged, slightly bigger than a proton, and inconsequential in most ca... |

Physicists in Japan have recently discovered an exotic form of carbon, one that features an extra-large halo nucleus. The central region of this atom is so large, that it even puts to shame the nuclei of heavier chemical elements such as copper and zinc. However, the new material does not exist in nature, as it was p... |

Physicists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have recently managed to demonstrate that the magnetic properties a material has are a clear indicator of its superconducting properties. They add that the same mechanisms allowing for superconductivity to appear in copper-bas... |

The NASA MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) probe has just recently performed its third flyby of Mercury, and it is currently heading on a course that will allow it to be captured in the planet's orbit in early 2011. As it passed close to the planet after one of its third ap... |

The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) has been the world's most powerful pulsed neutron-scattering science facility for a long time. Now, its role has been even further consolidated, when it has become the first such research institute to reach and exceed the one-megawatt mark.... |

The US Department of Energy (DOE)-operated Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in Tennesse, is the proud owner of the world's largest accelerator-based neutron source, the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). Built and funded by an unprecedented cooperative effort from six DOE laboratories (Argonne, Lawrence Berkeley, Br... |

After a very long battle with other candidates, Sweden has finally won the honor of hosting Europe's next neutron-science facility, the European Spallation Source. The science complex will be built around a linear particle accelerator, which will accelerate protons to high speeds, and then have them collide into... |

The Geiger-Muller counter is a particle detector designed to detect ionizing radiation, such as alpha and beta as well as gamma radiation (although with significantly lower sensitivity than other types of detectors). It was invented by the German physicist Hans Geiger (co-discoverer of the atom nucleus) and later imp... |

Protons and neutrons are the basic constituents of the atomic nucleus. Understanding the interactions between the nucleons may provide some insight towards understanding the structure of the nucleus in light nuclei and neutron stars alike. An experiment carried out at the US Department of Energy's Thomas Jeffers... |

Magnetic fields are routinely used in medical and scientific investigations to make observations of internal structures. For the first time researchers were able to create a three-dimensional of a magnetic field inside a solid, non-transparent structure through a technique using neutron polarization. The study was co... |

The newly discovered particle is part of the meson class of particles, has a non-zero electric charge, and is composed of four quarks. The announcement of the discovery of the new particle was made by researchers at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan, and named the exotic partic... |
