Nuclear Physics Researchers Publish Atom-Smashing Symmetry Experiment Results in Top-Tier Journal

Nuclear physics researchers at 青年涩导航 and all over the world have been searching for violations of the fundamental symmetries in the universe for decades. Much like the 鈥淏ig Bang鈥 (approximately 13.8 billion years ago), but on a tiny scale, they briefly recreate the particle interactions that likely existed microseconds into the formation of our universe which also likely now exist in the cores of neutron stars.
