Findings in nuclear physics theory have received several Nobel Prizes (1975-nucleus vibrations and rotations, 1963-nuclear shell model, 1949-meson exchange model of nuclear forces). Despite these ...

Magic numbers In 1949, Goeppert Mayer and Jensen developed the so-called shell model of the nucleus. Protons and neutrons occupy particular orbits, analogous to electrons, but they also have a ...

Formed from a cluster of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, a nucleus is 10,000 times smaller than the atom as a whole, "like a fly in a cathedral," said David Jenkins, a nuclear ...

This year marks the 75 th anniversary of the nuclear shell model, a theory pivotal to our understanding of the nuclei in atoms. It was developed by Nobel laureate, Maria Goeppert Mayer.

One successful model describing this is the nuclear shell model, which treats nucleons as valence particles within a mean-field. Initially, this model was developed for nuclei near stability, where so ...

A U.S. nuclear bomb is pictured exploding in an April 1954 test detonation. The Biden administration announced last week that it was updating the country's nuclear weapons arsenal with a new bomb ...

As part of that research, Burkey and colleagues developed a new model that simulates what a nuclear detonation’s high-energy, X-ray emissions will do to an asteroid.
