Perhaps one of the most famous equations in the world, in all scientific fields, is Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, E=mc2. This means that the energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square speed of light. Recently, an international team whose members come from Germany, France and Hungary, led by L... |

Physicists from the University of Michigan stumbled upon the proton's distant cousin, the Omega b baryon, as a result of their research at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Illinois.While CERN and their contested and heavily discussed LHC still hold first pages of newspapers and fuel news a... |

Most of the universe we live in is made of matter, not anti-matter, but, while to create anti-matter particles is extremely easy here on Earth, they immediately decay through what we call anti-particle annihilation, when an elementary particle and its counterpart interact and decay into pure energy, or particles that... |

Usually, two-quark particles such as pions are absorbed into the atomic nucleus right after they are produced, but in some cases they can escape, and are ejected out of the system. Their low energy makes the detection close to impossible, thus they are called color transparent particles. A new study believes otherwis... |

A team of scientists working at an experiment called "Dzero" at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced the discovery of a new heavy particle, called "zigh sub b" baryon, b.This new particle, also known as "cascade b," has a mass six times greater than that of a proton, is ele... |

The string theory, in fact an abbreviation for superstring theory, is a theoretical model of fundamental physics who claims that the building blocks of the physical world are not the zero-dimensional point particles that form the basis for the Standard Model of particle physics, but rather one-dimensional extended o... |
