Molecular pentaquark Artist’s impression of how five quarks could bind together to form an exotic hadron. Such particles have been spotted at CERN, Fermilab and SLAC. (Image: Daniel Dominguez/CERN) ...

This particle diagram represents water or, to use its chemical formula, H₂O which is a compound of the elements hydrogen and oxygen. In one molecule of water, there are two hydrogen atoms and ...

New results from the world’s largest particle accelerator illuminate the structure of the pentaquark, an exotic particle consisting of five quarks bound together. Quarks, the subatomic particles ...

Inside living cells, molecules are constantly on the move—binding, diffusing, interacting. An international competition, the ...

Laser-induced alignment boosts single-particle imaging by improving molecular orientation, enabling clearer 3D structure recovery of proteins and macromolecules. ( Nanowerk News ) Single-particle ...

Working out the structure of Λ(1405) – or any baryon resonance for that matter – is extremely difficult because of the nonlinear nature of the strong interaction. However, over the past two decades ...

The device -- which is only a couple millionths of a meter in size -- consists of a tiny, vibrating bridge-like structure. When a particle or molecule lands on the bridge, its mass changes the ...
