Scientists at CERN have reported on their first significant evidence for a process predicted by theory, paving the way for searches for evidence of new physics in particle processes that could explain ...

A Los Alamos simulation of an accretion disk after the collision of two neutron stars. This event generates both light (blue) and heavy (red) elements. The origin of heavy elements in our universe is ...

Physicists have modelled a quantum mechanism that can result in the end of the universe through the mechanism of false vacuum ...

The origin of heavy elements in our universe is theorized to be the result of neutron star collisions, which produce conditions hot and dense enough for free neutrons to merge with atomic nuclei and ...
