Researchers discovered rutherfordium-252, the shortest-lived superheavy nucleus, refining the "island of stability" map and ...

A compact method of detecting neutrinos provides new tests of physics theories and could lead to new reactor-monitoring methods.

These tech giants recognize that the next generation of microprocessors to be used for AI calculations at data centers will ...

Researchers measured very precisely atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes and found an interesting feature in their nuclear binding energies. The discovery provides essential data for ...

A crucial component of this is understanding the behaviour of the electrons that surround the atomic nucleus; these dynamics dominate the way atoms and molecules interact with their environment.

Physicists from both New Zealand and Britain have been credited with splitting the atom — but there is consensus that it was ...

After President Trump's claim, a mayor in New Zealand pointed out that work to split the atom was actually pioneered by ...
