There are plenty of types of stars out there, but one stands out for being just a little weirder than the others. You might ...

The film discusses the dual nature of atomic energy, likening it to the sun, which can both sustain and destroy life. It ...

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

A new Zap research paper, published last week in Nuclear Fusion, details neutron isotropy measurements from the FuZE device that provide the best validation yet that Zap’s sheared-flow-stabilized Z ...

Meanwhile, understanding the origin of such properties at fundamental level is key for developing applications, and neutrons are the ideal probe. Neutrons possess a magnetic dipole moment which ...

The team used neutrons at ORNL’s Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) to investigate the atomic structure of this material. These experiments were coupled with sophisticated computer simulations performed ...

When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from ...

Heavy water can help keep such a chain reaction going. As each uranium atom breaks apart, it shoots out neutrons that can go on to split other atoms. But the neutrons are much more likely to ...

The “lead” of a pencil is actually made of a substance called graphite which is made of carbon atoms. The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and ...

ON bombarding uranium with neutrons, Fermi and collaborators 1 found that at least four radioactive substances were produced, to two of which atomic numbers larger than 92 were ascribed.

Astronomers from West Virginia University and elsewhere report the detection of 18 new pulsars using the Arecibo Observatory (AO) as part of the AO 327-MHz Drift Survey. The findings were detailed ...
