Dark matter could be an entire dark sector of the universe, with its own particles and forces H ave you ever stood by the sea ...

Using structured light beams, scientists have found a way to control ionization with unprecedented precision. This could transform fields ranging from medical imaging to quantum computing. Credit: ...

The team investigated the ways in which adding a third player to the mix can change how stable an atom’s center is. Nucleons are protons and neutrons. These particles form the central nucleus of each ...

In heavy-ion collisions whenever two nuclei collide, we expect an equal number of nucleons to participate from either nuclei, but it can be unequal due to nuclear density fluctuations. This gives rise ...

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

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study, led by ...

Element 112 did not invite a lot of interest when theoretical nuclear physicists predicted the famous island of stable superheavy elements — elements that have a number of nucleons that leads to ...

The B Reactor Museum Association is hosting a free event to honor the contributions of women at the Hanford Site during the ...

For the first time, scientists have acquired direct evidence of rare, pulsing pear-shaped structures within atomic nuclei of the rare-earth element Gadolinium, thanks to new research led by the ...

In the past three years, astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of radio source. We call these long-period transients. An international team of astronomers led by scientists from the ...
