The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and (aside from most hydrogen) neutrons.The number of protons defines what element it is: 8 for oxygen, 26 for iron, and 79 for gold.However, the ...

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho and NINGBO, China, June 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- International Isotopes, Inc. (INIS) and Alpha Nuclide Inc (AN) have entered into a Strategic Development and Distribution ...

A new seaborgium isotope may unlock the path to discovering even shorter-lived superheavy nuclei through K-isomer states. An ...

He says determining how the isotope behaves, not determining whether it’s stable, could help potentially disprove some theoretical models of the nucleus. Chemical & Engineering News ISSN 0009-2347 ...

Finding a nucleus as far beyond the drip line as nitrogen-9 — five protons beyond — was surprising even for Charity’s team. Until now, scientists had only ever found isotopes up to four ...

The nucleus of this isotope has one more proton than does 28 O but the same number of neutrons. The scientists next smashed 29 F into a thick barrier of liquid hydrogen, knocking a proton out of ...
