Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

For the first time, researchers have developed a way to create chilled molecules containing the radioactive element radium.

Facility in country's south will help scientists answer some of the biggest questions in nuclear physics, according to its ...

In a single experiment, physicists have measured the "excess" emission of high-energy gamma rays from more than a dozen heavy ...

For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay. Scientists have previously observed interesting ...

In this collection of lab-based activities, students will learn about the concepts of radiation and half-life in order to gain an understanding of the use of radiocarbon dating as a method of absolute ...

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study, led by the ...
