A team of researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) has discovered that ...

For scientists studying matter at extreme energies, understanding how large atomic cores like lead break apart when they pass ...

For the first time in nearly 30 years, scientists have discovered the heaviest atomic nucleus ever observed that decays by ...

For the first time in more than thirty years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to ...

This view of the atomic nucleus changed when James Chadwick discovered the existence of the neutron in 1932, for which he won the Nobel Prize three years later. Not too long afterward, scientists ...

Astatine-188 is the heaviest nucleus yet observed with proton emission 188At discovered at Jyväskylä University using advanced detector tech Proton emission from 188At reveals limits of nuclear stabil ...

Our collection of antimatter has just gotten heavier, as researchers have logged the heaviest antimatter version of an atomic nucleus yet, called antihyperhydrogen-4. “We didn’t think that it ...

Causing energy jumps in a nucleus requires a much higher frequency signal than is required for atomic clocks. With more wave cycles per second, this approach is expected to provide more accurate ...

The temporary pair of correlated nucleons is highlighted in purple. The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons.
