Scientists found an unexpected nuclear energy shift in radioactive lanthanum isotopes, challenging existing models and ...

As they studied atomic disintegration ... He was able to determine that the neutron did exist and that its mass was about 0.1 percent more than the proton's. He published his findings with ...

Despite their small diameters—about 12.5 miles (20 kilometers)—neutron stars boast nearly 1.5 times the mass of our sun, and are thus incredibly dense. Just a sugar cube of neutron star matter ...

A US-based research team has used neutron scattering to study lithium movement in a promising solid-state battery material.

Multiferroic materials, in which electric and magnetic properties are combined in promising ways, will be the heart of new ...

It has 11 positive charges and 11 negative charges. The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number of a sodium atom is 11 and its mass number is 23.

Researchers at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, precisely measured atomic masses of ...

The NGATLAS contains neutron capture cross sections in the range 10-5eV - 20MeV as evaluated and compiled in recent activation libraries. The NGATLAS contains neutron capture cross sections in the ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...
