In the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, collisions occur where, for a fraction of a second, the conditions that existed right ...

Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of how matter came to dominate over antimatter.

Hypernuclei are rarely found in nature and are difficult to create in the lab. CERN's LHC has reported spotting two ...

One mode of decay for uranium is to emit an alpha-particle. This alpha-particle is actually just the heart of a helium atom - its nucleus. Once it has grabbed a couple of electrons, a helium atom has ...

A team of Australian researchers has proposed an instrument called ODIN (Optomechanical Dark-matter Instrument) ...

Magna Petra have announced a partnership to extract helium-3 from the moon’s regolith with a focus on sustainability.

An interdisciplinary collaboration between condensed-matter, quantum-optics and particle physicists has the potential to ...

Collisions between heavy ions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) create quark–gluon plasma, a hot and dense state of matter ...

The province is home to the biggest gas and helium project in the country. Will it speed up the shift towards renewable ...

Reuters recently reported that "Reliance Industries' (REL.NS) U.S. unit has bought a 21% stake in U.S.-based helium production company Wavetech Helium for $12 million, the conglomerate said on ...

Helium-neon lasers may be little more than glorified neon signs, but there’s just something about that glowing glass tube that makes the whole process of stimulated emission easier to understand.

So in the helium example, there would be four protons and two electrons in the nucleus to yield a mass of 4 but a charge of only 2. Rutherford also put out the idea that there could be a particle ...
