Three-nucleon force affects nuclear stability, impacting element formation and stellar evolution. The force increases energy ...

Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow ...

The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs), originally designed for detecting photons, can also accurately detect high-energy protons. This unexpected finding ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a highly sensitive sensor ...

since varying proportions of neutrons may be given to the two parts of the uranium nucleus. By bombarding thorium with neutrons, activities are obtained which have been ascribed to radium and ...

You would have to flip 75 heads in a row on a fair coin to have the same probability of a single neutrino interacting with a ...

The current idea is to vitrify the plutonium – bake it into a ceramic glass, like material – and bury it 1000 metres below in a geological disposal facility (GDF). However, the UK currently possesses ...

Gamma close gamma radiationA type of ionising radiation that is also part of the EM spectrum. It has no mass. is pure energy and will not change the structure of the nucleus in any way.

Recent research on lightweight particles called neutrinos might have passed you by - much like the more than 10 trillion neutrinos passing through ...
