For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...
Adding a single proton to a doubly magic isotope of oxygen is enough to significantly alter its properties, an international team of physicists has discovered. Led by Tsz Leung Tang at the University ...
Separated by an ocean and more than a decade, innovative experiments with 31 tin isotopes having either a surplus or shortage ...
Researchers at CERN have made a significant breakthrough in nuclear physics by uncovering strong evidence that Tin-100 (100 Sn) has a "doubly magic" nucleus, a property that confers exceptional ...
Scientists at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have successfully measured the heaviest nucleus to date that undergoes proton emission. The discovery unveils a new ...
An international research collaboration has provided experimental and theoretical evidence for the existence of the magic number of six in carbon isotopes. The researchers experimentally determined ...
The heaviest version of oxygen ever created falls apart mysteriously quickly. This finding implies a problem with our understanding of a fundamental force of nature. Yosuke Kondo at the Tokyo ...
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis reported the first observations of a new form of fluorine, the isotope 13 F, described in the journal Physical Review Letters. They made their ...
With five more protons than should be stable, the newly discovered nitrogen-9 isotope sits right on the borderline of physical possibility. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
The research, led by a graduate student at FRIB, reported new experimental results addressing the origin of rare proton-rich isotopes heavier than iron, called p-nuclei Many of the nuclei involved in ...
The CERN-MEDICIS facility in Geneva, Switzerland has produced radioisotopes for medical research for the first time. This is the first step in the MEDICIS facility’s plans to make a large number of ...
