A newly discovered aluminium isotope rapidly self-destructs by ejecting three protons in a rare sequence — shaking up our ...

Everywhere you look there are 3's because 3 is the ultimate number that the universe as we know and perceive it is built upon ...

Collapsing stars might act as cosmic laboratories for discovering hidden neutrino interactions. Neutrinos are among the most puzzling particles in the universe. Nearly massless and incredibly elusive, ...

Now, most of the atoms in the universe are the two simplest kinds: hydrogen, which has one proton, zero neutrons and one electron; and helium, which has two protons, two neutrons and two electrons. Of ...

Now, most of the atoms in the universe are the two simplest kinds: hydrogen, which has one proton, zero neutrons and one electron; and helium, which has two protons, two neutrons and two electrons.

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

The force carrier for the strong force is the gluon. This force is responsible for holding the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of the atoms against the repulsive electromagnetic forces.

Scientists have produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment. The experiment presents a new method for investigating light, neutron-rich nuclei ...

"Because nuclei are made of protons and neutrons, it is natural to ask what would the entanglement do to nuclei structure," Tu said. "We plan to use the electron-ion collider (EIC) to study this.

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to ...
