Baryons, composite particles made up of three quarks bound together via the so-called strong force, make up the most visible matter and have thus been the focus of numerous physics studies. Studying the rare processes via ...
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new carbon membrane that could revolutionize proton therapy for cancer patients and advance technologies in medicine and other areas such as energy ...
