Physicists at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, have used supercomputer simulations to predict a specific ...

Scientists may soon see inside neutron stars, potentially revealing a state of matter, quark-gluon plasma, last seen immediately after the Big Bang.

As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.

The new particle, named Xi-cc-plus, carries two heavy charm quarks and is about four times heavier than an ordinary proton.

Some neutron stars probably have something strange lurking in their cores, according to a recent study. Neutron stars are already some of the most peculiar objects in the universe. They contain enough ...

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated ...
