Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, killing several Iranian nuclear scientists. The facilities are heavily fortified and largely ...

More common than gold, uranium is abundant on Earth. But less than one percent of the naturally occurring element is useful ...

These findings confirmed that atomic nuclei can decay by losing individual protons, not just clusters like alpha particles.

Nuclides of an element that have the same number of protons but not the same number of neutrons are called isotopes of that element. The synthesis and study of new nuclides is a frontier research ...

Iran has enriched large quantities of uranium to 60%. It’s easier to go from an enrichment of 60% to 90% cent than to get to ...

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

For the fundamental isotope hydrogen, which contains only a single proton, several very neutron-rich isotopes from ⁴H to ⁷H have been observed beyond the well-known deuteron and triton.

Late last week, Israel targeted three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities – Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo, killing several Iranian nuclear scientists. The facilities are heavily fortified and largely ...

To “enrich” uranium means taking the naturally found element and increasing the proportion of uranium-235 while removing uranium-238. There are a few ways to do this (including new inventions from ...

S cientists have found an intriguing discrepancy in the way electrons behave in different calcium atoms. The difference ...

Deeper down, the enormous gravity allows for exotic, rare isotopes to exist in abundance ... in the crushing environment. Here, neutrons, protons and some electrons roam freely.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that Iran has already enriched a large amount of uranium up to 60% ...
