An international team of physicists has found strong evidence for the existence of a new ‘doubly magic’ nucleus with an unconventional configuration of neutrons. The oxygen–24 nucleus is also the ...

Mrs Roberts: What do you think you're made of? Mr Spellman: Big question. Grit, determination, hard-working, handsome, charming, funny. Mrs Roberts: Well, I guess. But you're actually made of atoms.

A study of bound protons and neutrons has allowed scientists, for the first time, to extract information through experimentation about the internal structure of free neutrons, without the assistance ...

The atomic nucleus offers a unique opportunity to study the competition between three of the four fundamental forces known to exist in nature, the strong nuclear interaction, the electromagnetic ...

The suspected discovery of an atomic nucleus with four neutrons but no protons has physicists scratching their heads. If confirmed by further experiments, this “tetraneutron” would be the first ...

A study of bound protons and neutrons conducted at the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has allowed scientists, for the first time, to extract information through ...

There are 118 elements. Each element is unique by virtue of the different numbers of electrons, protons, and neutrons its atoms contain. Isotopes are atoms of a given element that vary only in the ...
