Two mathematicians have proved that a straightforward question—how hard is it to untie a knot?—has a complicated answer.
A novel experiment has revealed a phenomenon called the Bohr–Weisskopf effect in a pear-shaped nucleus in a molecule for the ...
The most feasible reaction is between the nuclei of two heavy isotopes of hydrogen – deuterium (D) and tritium (T). This needs robust and efficient 14.1 MeV neutron detectors for monitoring and ...
Texas A&M scientists have unlocked new potential for astatine-211, a rare and short-lived element, as a highly precise cancer-fighting isotope. Its alpha emissions destroy tumor cells while sparing ...
Eggs laid by dinosaurs have provided paleontologists with a new way to tell prehistoric time. By looking to radioactive ...
The idea of the atom as the building block of matter has developed over time. What was thought of as a single particle about 1 × 10‾¹⁰ m across is now known to be a collection of smaller particles.
