Researchers have reported new experimental results addressing the origin of rare proton-rich isotopes heavier than iron, ...

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

The very first element on the Periodic Table may be the key to solving mysteries hiding inside the atom’s nucleus. Nuclear ...

A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...

Neutrinos are particles that are notoriously hard to detect, but observations of a process called coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering could enable physicists to develop better ways of ...

The NeuLAND detector was used for producing and detecting the long-sought oxygen atomic nucleus 28 O for the first time. Researchers of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and the ...

The technique in this article explores applied radio frequency fields B 1 expressed and employed as nutation frequencies for nucleus i,ƒ (1,i) =1/2π |1/2 γ i B r,i |, vital constraints in solid-state ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable ...
