Chinese breakthrough in ultraviolet crystals could lead to navigation systems resistant to jamming ...

Atomic clocks exploit the properties of atoms to create incredibly precise 'ticks.' Nate Phillips, NIST Most clocks, from ...

The study is part of Henna Kokkonen's doctoral thesis. Credit: Tommi Sassi For the first time in almost 30 years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous ...

Scientists have taken another giant step towards building the most precise clock ever imagined—one that could display not only the passage of time, but shifting rules of nature itself. An ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based directly on the interactions between their protons and neutrons. Published in ...

A new milestone in nuclear physics has been achieved with the direct observation of three different deformations in the atomic nucleus of lead-190 (190Pb). These deformations, associated with three ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists have been hoping for this moment for a long time: for many years, scientists all around the world have been searching for a very specific state of thorium atomic nuclei that ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology have managed to watch a single atomic nucleus flip its magnetic state in real time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, they indirectly read the nucleus ...

New experiments reveal possible η′-mesic nuclei, offering evidence that particle masses shift inside nuclear matter and ...

An international research team has found evidence of the existence of an exotic atomic nucleus state in an experiment at the ...
