Tin always has 50 protons, and its most common isotope has 70 neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons. There are nine other stable isotopes of tin ...

Recent advancements in this field have significantly enhanced our understanding of exotic isotopes, which are nuclei with unusual numbers of protons and neutrons, leading to unexpected structural ...

What would you think if they started talking about magic numbers and how a never-before-seen form of oxygen has made them ...

Abstract: It is widely recognized that the proton and neutron SEE cross sections are nearly equal above 50 MeV. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether this conclusion holds true for devices ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Originally discovered in 2007 by American ...

Using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, an international team of astronomers has detected 26 new Galactic radio transients. Most of them turned out to be rotating radio transients (RRATs ...

The isotope helium-3 is to be used in nuclear fusion and in quantum computers. The US company Interlune wants to mine it on ...

Experimental observations of the half life of rutherfordium-252 demonstrate that its stability lies well within the limits required for full atoms to form ...

Each particle has its own charge and its own mass.

After a breakdown in US-Russia relations, Riken finds itself ahead of its rivals. And Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ...
