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

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

The nucleus of most hydrogen atoms is composed of just 1 proton. A small percentage of hydrogen atoms have 1 or even 2 neutrons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called ...

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 ...

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 ...

Key fact: isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. There are three isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen, deuterium (hydrogen-2 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
