A long-held belief involving lead-208 challenges past beliefs that the element’s atomic nucleus is a perfect sphere.

An international research collaboration led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear Physics Group has overturned the ...

Ever since physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus in 1911, studying its structure and behavior has ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A ...

An international research collaboration has overturned the long-standing belief that the atomic nucleus of lead-208 is perfectly spherical. The discovery challenges fundamental assumptions about ...

Three-nucleon force affects nuclear stability, impacting element formation and stellar evolution. The force increases energy ...

Our estimates of the size of a neutrino span from smaller than an atomic nucleus to as large as a few metres, but now we are ...

The results confirmed the original anomaly, but thanks to new nuclear theory calculations from researchers at TU Darmstadt, ...

The international team also used the data to get direct information about the deformation of the atomic nucleus in ytterbium ...
