Researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that holds it together. This ...

Nuclear structure and scattering theory form the core of our understanding of atomic nuclei, unraveling how protons and neutrons interact via the strong force and arrange themselves into complex ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit a complex interplay of structure and dynamics that underpins much of nuclear physics. The arrangement of protons and neutrons into specific configurations gives rise to quantised ...

Scientists have developed a theory to experimentally determine differences in nuclear structure. Using this method to assess carbon and oxygen nuclei revealed that they contain more components in ...

New characterization of the material's surface reveals how an atom-level rearrangement aids the formation of ice crystals and ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

Chernobyl’s protective shield built disaster can no longer contain radioactive material from the 1986 disaster after being ...
