MIT's new method helps probe inside atom’s nucleus using electrons as 'messengers'MIT's new method helps probe inside atom’s nucleus using electrons a…
Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to help probe ...
From a research paper: “Probing Cold Dense Nuclear Matter”: The protons and neutrons in a nucleus can form strongly correlated nucleon pairs. Scattering experiments, where a proton is knocked-out of ...
Scientists describe how forces in the atomic nucleus work to keep the atom stable. They then explain how researchers make new elements and discuss why large, man-made elements—those beyond atomic ...
An international team of physicists has found strong evidence for the existence of a new ‘doubly magic’ nucleus with an unconventional configuration of neutrons. The oxygen–24 nucleus is also the ...
HEISENBERG has discussed the hypothesis that the nucleus of an atom is composed of neutrons and protons only, the neutron being regarded as a fundamental entity and not as a combination of an electron ...

Record-breaking Rf-252: Researchers produce shortest-lived superheavy nucleus and measure its subsequent decay
A team of researchers from GSI/FAIR, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz has succeeded in exploring the limits of the so-called island of stability within the ...
An element is defined according to the number of protons contained inside the nucleus of each atom. No two elements have the same number of protons, hence each element has a unique atomic number. The ...
Nature’s processes provide us with a rich variety of elements, ranging from hydrogen with just one proton, to uranium with 92 protons. Almost 300 stable “nuclides” – combinations of different numbers ...
Theory suggests that if physicists could cram just the right amount of stuff into a nucleus, the resulting element would hit a sweet spot. It could romp on the island of stability for days, months or ...
Osaka--A magic number is a number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus of an elemental particle that results in much greater stability than that of nuclei with other numbers of protons or neutrons.
