A team of physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, Princeton and Oxford have shown that extremely light particles known as axions may occur in large clouds around neutron stars. These axions ...

Neutron stars as magnifying glasses The idea of the axion as a dark matter particle is nice, but in physics an idea is only truly nice if it has observable consequences.

With that, scientists could also predict which combinations of protons and neutrons can result in a nucleus. The atom is a complex system of particles. It’s made up of a central nucleus consisting of ...

With that, scientists could also predict which combinations of protons and neutrons can result in a nucleus. The solution to the puzzle came in 1949 from two directions simultaneously. In the U.S ...
