Researchers from the University of Washington, Seattle, or UW, and Los Alamos National Laboratory used the Summit ...

Scientists have reproduced the properties of atomic nuclei using quark-gluon models, something that had eluded physicists for ...

Neutrons are among the basic building blocks of matter. As long as they are part of a stable atomic nucleus, they can stay ...

While quarks are particles that combine to form protons and neutrons, gluons act like glue, binding the quarks together. So ...

Despite sharing the same surname, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are not the same thing. So, what do they have in common?

How long do neutrons live? Different measurement results contradict each other. Researchers at TU Wien propose that free ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking model that merges traditional nuclear physics, focusing on protons and neutrons, ...

It's been almost a century since the discovery of the main components of atomic nuclei: protons and neutrons. Initially, the new particles were considered indivisible. In the 1960s, however, there ...

Two measurement methods, two results By pure chance, without any reason at all, neutrons can spontaneously decay according to the laws of quantum theory – turning into a proton, an electron and ...

The 𝛽 decay of 24O was investigated at NSCL/MSU using a combination of neutron and 𝛾-ray spectroscopy. For the first time, the 𝛽-delayed neutron energy spectrum of 24O was measured, revealing three ...
