How quickly a battery electrode decays depends on properties of individual particles in the battery -- at first. Later on, the network of particles matters more. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries don ...

A new measurement by CERN’s ATLAS Collaboration has strengthened evidence that the masses of fundamental particles originate through their interaction with the Higgs field. Building on earlier results ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing ...

As strange as it sounds, antimatter is essentially just like regular matter, except its particles have the opposite charge. But that simple difference has some major implications – if ever a particle ...

For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay. Scientists have previously observed interesting ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. There were a huge variety of potential new physics signatures that ...

Alpha particles are also known as alpha radiation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Alongside beta particles, gamma rays, and ...

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries don't last forever – after enough cycles of charging and recharging, they'll eventually go kaput, so researchers are constantly looking for ways to squeeze a little ...
