For a mere moment after the Big Bang, no neutrons or protons are thought to have existed. These neutral and positively charged particles, respectively, make up the center of all atoms today. But ...

After 25 years of experiments recreating early-universe matter, Brookhaven's RHIC has completed its final particle collisions ...

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated ...

For more than two decades, researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s particle accelerator have recreated conditions ...

Canada has quietly set a new mark in the global race for fusion power. General Fusion says its latest compression experiments produced about 600 million fusion neutrons every second at peak, a record ...

Characters are welcome again at USA Network, entertainment stays on the menu at E! and Oxygen still lives and breathes true crime. That’s the message Versant entertainment president Val Boreland plans ...

The movement of protons through electrically charged water is one of the most fundamental processes in chemistry. It is evident in everything from eyesight to energy storage to rocket fuel — and ...

As AI pushes up electricity demand, big tech is turning to nuclear energy for clean, reliable energy that keeps the digital world running 24/7. Supercomputing and artificial intelligence (AI) are ...

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field seems to rise and fall hand-in-hand with the abundance of oxygen in its atmosphere, a study of geological records spanning the last half billion years has found.

There’s a pencil lying on my desk right now. It’s not much to look at, but what if I could zoom way in and see the protons and other itty-bitty stuff inside it? My friend Ryan Corbin told me it would ...

The film discusses the dual nature of atomic energy, likening it to the sun, which can both sustain and destroy life. It explains the structure of atoms and the process of nuclear fission, leading to ...
