Physicists Have Modeled the Existence of Newly Discovered Tetraneutrons

A new study has confirmed previous research on the existence of tetraneurons — a particle with more than two neutrons. The research challenges the current model of particle physics and means we may have to reexamine how we look at … Continue reading

Excimers in the Lowest Rotational Quantum State in Liquid Helium

Evidence for helium excimers (He∗_2) in the lowest allowed rotational quantum state in liquid helium is presented. He∗_2 was generated by a corona discharge in the gas and normal liquid phases. Fluorescence spectra recorded in the visible region between 3.8 … Continue reading
