Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have used supercomputer simulations to predict electric charge distributions in ...
Nuclear fission has powered our world and medical advancements for decades. What exactly happens when an atom's nucleus splits into two parts?
Scientists demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a world ...
Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...
Mitochondria divide to share the load when nutrients are scarce — plus, how smashing atomic nuclei together helps identify their shapes.
A method to take snapshots of exploding nuclei could hold clues about the fundamental properties of gold, uranium and other ...
An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz, succeeded in determining the chemical properties of the ...
The nucleus of the Xenon atom can assume different shapes depending on the balance of internal forces at play. As two Xenon atoms collide in the CERN experiment, extremely hot conditions are created ...
Fine tuning an experimental setup improved a detector's sensitivity to neutrinos and perhaps eventually dark matter—two ...
With advancements in imaging technology, the first successful dark matter detector might turn out to be an ancient rock. The visible universe — every potato, gas giant, steamy romance novel, black ...
