Scientists discuss the structure of unstable and unbound forms of Helium, Lithium, and Beryllium nuclei that have unusually large neutron to proton ratios -- dubbed 'exotic' light nuclei. Many ...

The nuclei of certain atoms are stable and under ordinary circumstances, stable nuclei do not undergo change. The nuclei of other atoms are unstable. These nuclei undergo change spontaneously, that is ...

Gold and other heavy elements are born in some of the universe’s most violent events—but scientists still struggle to ...

The blast is what people imagine. A sudden flash, a rising cloud, the moment when history splits into “before” and “after”.

Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful? It's time for our second to final Physics episode. So, let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does ...

Models for how heavy elements are produced within stars have become more accurate thanks to measurements by RIKEN nuclear physicists of the probabilities that 20 neutron-rich nuclei will shed neutrons ...

Scientists measured phosphorus-26 and sulfur-27 atoms with high precision. Discovery shows neutron star explosions are stronger and faster than thought. Findings improve models of element formation ...
