Using lasers beams to measure the nuclear radius of isotopes at the end of periodic table. Elements at the end of the ...

Scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have achieved a big breakthrough in neutron research. They ran a neutron production system for 1,250 hours using a 1.7-megawatt proton beam. This ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...

Oak Ridge Lab's Spallation Neutron Source reached 1.7 MW with a new target for 1,250 hours, ahead of a 2025 review.

University of Liverpool researchers are part of an international research collaboration that has shed light on what happens ...

Different neutron states could explain why different experiments produce different figures for how long neutrons survive ...

When neutrons are free, within minutes, they undergo decay and become an electron, proton, or antineutrino. The first method that scientists generally use to measure the lifetime of free neutrons ...

Massive stars about eight times more massive than the sun explode as supernovae at the end of their lives. The explosions, ...

CERN researchers have presented strong evidence for the "doubly magic" nature of Tin-100, a rare isotope with exceptional ...

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of ...

Two measurement methods, two results By pure chance, without any reason at all, neutrons can spontaneously decay according to the laws of quantum theory -- turning into a proton, an electron and ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? An ...
