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.

Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that reproduces the fragment patterns and kinetic energies of medium-mass isotopes ...

The model successfully captures the unusual "double-humped" fragment mass distribution observed in mercury-180 and offers new insights into how nuclear shell effects influence fission dynamics ...

Paralleling the idea of electron shells in atomic physics, in 1949 scientists proposed the nuclear shell model: protons and neutrons sit in distinct nuclear shells, and additional energy input can ...

Immerse yourself in the relaxing ASMR process of building the Motor Nuclear MNP-XH04 Nezha model. Watch as each piece comes together, the sounds of assembly creating a peaceful and satisfying ...

The scaled-down Hualong One containment (Image: CNNC) The Xuanwu experimental platform, the world's largest containment test model, is a 1:3.2 scale replica of a Chinese-designed Hualong One ...

The current model the U.S. and other countries plan to use to store high-level nuclear waste may not be as safe as previously thought. The materials used to store the waste "will likely degrade ...
