When we go backwards in time through the history of the cosmos, the distances and volumes shrink, while the average energy ...

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have used supercomputer simulations to predict electric charge distributions in ...

Calculations of charge distribution in mesons provide benchmark for experimental measurements and validate widely used 'factorization' method for imaging the building blocks of matter.

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...

The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe began as a hot, dense point, expanding into the cosmos we observe today.

Atomic nuclei, composed of protons and neutrons, hide quarks and gluons at their core. These latter particles, still challenging to study, have long eluded scientists. In the mid-20th ...

A decade after the discovery of the “amplituhedron,” physicists have excavated more of the timeless geometry underlying the ...

New 2024 American Physical Society Fellow Jozef Dudek is pursuing theoretical descriptions of exotic hadrons, a yet-untallied ...
