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 ...

Andrea Richard receives funding from the Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration.

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 ...

This stability seems partly connected to the mass of the atom, with heavier elements proving less stable. But in the 1940s and '50s, scientists observed that many of the lighter ... particular numbers ...

Baryons are the class of subatomic particles that includes protons and neutrons, the basic building blocks ... at different types of cosmic objects but couldn't find the missing baryons. Many expected ...

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 ...

Kearny-based Thea Energy partners with AWS to advance stellarator fusion technology, aiming to bring clean, commercial fusion power to market.

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 ...
