Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that ...

They’re not a perfect match, but it’s way too hot on the first planet for us to hop over and confirm for ourselves.

A five-dimensional model has successfully predicted the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, offering new insights into ...

The isotopes of mercury are one example where the presence or absence of just one neutron affect the nuclear shape a lot. More than 40 years ago, in one of the first experiments at ISOLDE, physicists ...

There is a lot scientists don't understand about mercury — namely, how it becomes its most toxic form and why our bodies don't get rid of it. Researchers with the Woods Hole Oceanographic ...
