Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons...
Researchers have examined three ice core records to identify lead pollution levels in the Arctic between 500 BCE through 600 CE. Lead isotopes allowed...
Physicists with the ALICE Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have seen the first ever evidence of antihyperhelium-4, which is composed...
Top-quark pair production has been observed in lead-lead collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with the ATLAS detector, marking the first...
There is extensive geologic evidence of ancient volcanic activity on the Moon, but it is unclear how long that volcanism persisted. Magma fountains produce...
A team of physicists in China has synthesized two new isotopes: osmium-160 and tungsten-156.
Position of the new isotopes, osmium-160 and tungsten-156,...
By analyzing tiny lunar zircon crystals gathered by Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972, planetary scientists recalculated the age of the Moon. Although previous...
An international team of scientists from France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom has found a singular mixture of strongly saponified oil with high...
Current knowledge concerning the introduction of shipboard artillery in Europe is limited. A small, muzzle-loading cast copper-alloy gun recovered off...
Scientists have determined a precise lead isotopic age of the andesitic achondrite meteorite Erg Chech 002. Their result, combined with published aluminum-26-magnesium-26...
Harvard University’s Professor Avi Loeb and colleagues have discovered at least 50 tiny spherical iron fragments near the fireball path of the first...
The Night Watch, painted in 1642 and on view in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is considered Rembrandt’s most famous work. In new research, scientists...
The ancient sling bullet, dated to the Hellenistic period, bears a magic inscription in Greek: ‘Victory of Heracles and Hauronas.’
