For the first time in almost 30 years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous ...

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

Since the atomic nucleus was first proposed in 1911, physicists simply assumed it was round. ​ But are the nuclei of atoms ...

In a variety of technological applications related to chemical energy generation and storage, atoms and molecules diffuse and ...

An international research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI has measured the radius of the nucleus of muonic helium ...

Atomic nucleus excited with laser: a breakthrough after decades The 'thorium transition', which has been sought after for decades, has now been excited for the first time with lasers. This paves ...

More than 100 years after scientists began studying the atomic nucleus, they still don’t understand what holds it together. The nuclear force is the strongest force in the universe, yet it ...

Nuclear energy is the most promising tool that we have to tackle the climate emergency, so argues Tim Gregory in his new book Going Nuclear How the Atom Will Save the World. He says it is time to ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) I used to think that atomic nuclei are basically little balls, but this paper which just appeared found one that's the shape of a dumbbell. And it's not even a highly ...

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 ...

For the first time, it has been possible to use a laser to transfer an atomic nucleus into a state of higher energy and then precisely track its return to its original state. This makes it ...
