Investigating states of gas in water
2021-03-04 In the conventional paradigm of gases dissolved in water, only two states are assumed to exist: well-dispersed gas monomers and gas bubbles. Ing-Shouh Hwang and Wei-Hao Hsu employed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to uncover two types of new structures in gas-sup......

Exploring antiquark asymmetry in the proton
2021-02-26 Protons and neutrons, the components of every nucleus, are the dominating mass carriers of our visible universe. Our understanding of protons/neutrons has been evolving from a simple 3-quark structure to the 1d longitudinal momentum fraction (x) distributions of quark/g......
