Scientists sustained nuclear fusion plasma for 22 minutes, marking significant progress in sustainable clean energy research.

Einsteinium-255, produced through irradiation in ILL’s high-flux reactor, provided a continuous supply of fermium-255, ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

The interactions created unique gamma-ray fingerprints of the properties of excited quantum states in lead-208 nuclei—in other words, the nuclei were energized—which, in turn, were used to ...

In both cases, energy is freed because the mass of the remaining nucleus is smaller than the mass of the reacting nuclei. The reason why opposite processes release energy can be understood by ...

The interactions created unique gamma-ray fingerprints of the properties of excited quantum states in lead-208 nuclei -- in other words, the nuclei were energised -- which, in turn, were used to ...

This article was originally published with the title “ The Size and Shape of Atomic Nuclei ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 221 No. 2 (August 1969), p. 58 doi:10.1038 ...

Nucleic acids were discovered in 1868, when twenty-four-year-old Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher isolated a new compound from the nuclei of white blood cells. This compound was neither a ...
