The process: The study focuses on a radiation-induced process by which weakly bound matter can fall apart, the so-called electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD). Given predictions that it efficiently ...

Scientists revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons in a decay process initiated by X-ray irradiation. For the first time, they gain detailed insights into the ...

Scientists have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. Scientists at CERN have ...

The observation of a resonance in the boron-11 nucleus suggests that the proton emission from beryllium-11 is a two-step process rather than a dark matter decay channel. The discovery of an exotic ...

Led by physicist Si-Min Wang, the research team at Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Ion-beam Application (MOE), Institute of Modern Physics, and Shanghai Research Center for Theoretical Nuclear ...

Scientists at CERN have reported on their first significant evidence for a process predicted by theory, paving the way for searches for evidence of new physics in particle processes that could explain ...

Physicists have modelled a quantum mechanism that can result in the end of the universe through the mechanism of false vacuum decay, which is a process based on the theories of quantum field mechanics ...

Researchers at CERN have observed an exceptionally rare particle decay event, potentially paving the way to uncover new ...

A new study published in Palaeontology has confirmed that X-ray computed tomography (XCT scanning) can be used to monitor decomposing organisms without altering the natural decay process—a vital step ...
