For decades, physicists have relied on the principle of symmetry to simplify and understand the complex behaviors of subatomic particles. Symmetry in physics basically means that some rules of nature ...

Even though neutrons love to partner with protons to make the nucleus of an atom, the particles have always been notorious for their reluctance to bind with each other. But according to a new proposed ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State Professor of Physics Dipangkar Dutta is a principal investigator on a groundbreaking experiment—revealing “symmetry” in physics doesn’t always behave as scientists ...

Although banana-shaped molecules themselves are not 'handed', they can arrange themselves in striking superstructures ...

Scientists have proposed a new kind of subatomic particle to explain another particle’s mysterious disintegration. What just ...

The experiment involved infinitesimal particles of matter so slight and evanescent that they survived only a billionth of a billionth of a second. In their place they left still lighter particles that ...

A groundbreaking experiment--reveals 'symmetry' in physics doesn't always behave as scientists once believed. Mississippi State Professor of Physics Dipangkar Dutta is a principal investigator on a ...
