The heaviest elements could have new uses and properties we haven't dreamt of. Many of us remember a time ... and “magic numbers” of protons and neutrons that may be stable in combination. If we can ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how ...

New simulations show that neutrino flavor transformations change both the composition and the signals left behind after neutron star collisions. When two neutron stars collide and merge, the result is ...

Astronomers are using radio pulses from space to find missing baryonic matter and learn about supermassive black holes, stellar formation and galaxy evolution.

The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard candle" in particle physics. This isn't to be confused with Type 1a supernovas ...

Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may make all the difference.

Measuring boron in the single cell may uncover new trails in the treatment that uses neutrons and drug discovery for head and neck cancer therapy.

Piefer’s 50-year forecast seems a long way off, but progress shown by SHINE and NorthStar means the future is here in the sense that isotopes produced by both companies are already treating patients ...

Using a unique treasure of data, marine biologist Suzanne Poiesz investigated the fish food web in the Wadden Sea between ...

Who will be the first to feed fusion power into the grid? From Germany to China, the United States to France, more than 50 ...
