A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

A novel experiment has revealed a phenomenon called the Bohr–Weisskopf effect in a pear-shaped nucleus in a molecule for the ...

A ‘cannibal’ solar storm will blitz the Earth today, likely bringing the Northern Lights, power outages and GPS blackouts ...

For years, a French mathematician searched for a proof that a gigantic number is prime. His method is still used 150 years ...

Physicists have discovered how to make electrons “freeze” and “melt” into bizarre quantum patterns, forming a new kind of matter where solid and liquid coexist. Electricity drives nearly every aspect ...

Scientists have discovered a fern from South China that naturally forms tiny crystals containing rare earth elements (REEs).

In a groundbreaking achievement, physicists have successfully peered inside the nucleus of a molecule using electrons as a ...

String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply ...

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 ...

For the first time, scientists from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry in China have identified a plant that naturally ...
