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 ...

Tin always has 50 protons, and its most common isotope has 70 neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a ...

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

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

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 ...

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.

For the first time in nearly 30 years, scientists have discovered the heaviest atomic nucleus ever observed that decays by ...

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.

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 ...
