The team's calculations were made using a mathematical framework Bulgac began developing in the early 2000s based on Walter Kohn and Pierre Hohenberg's density functional theory, a quantum mechanical ...

Seven years ago, a scientist accomplished what no one else had before: capturing an image of a single atom. This stunning ...

CERN researchers found that atomic nuclei shapes impact high-energy collision outcomes, offering new insights into nuclear ...

The atom is a complex system of particles. It's made up of a central nucleus consisting of protons and neutrons, called nucleons, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus. Nobel prize-winning ...

Fermium studies indicate nuclear shell effects diminish as nuclear mass increases, emphasizing macroscopic influences in ...

Exploration of “double magic nuclei” is advancing nuclear physics and materials science through physicist's understanding of ...

The shape of nuclei affects all aspects The shape of a nucleus, the central core of an atom, plays a crucial role in nearly ...

Will fusion as an energy source finally become an everyday, commercial reality in the next decade or so—or not come to ...

and then removes it from the atom altogether, forming a fermium ion, which can be detected efficiently. The exact energy required for this stepwise ion-formation process varies with neutron number.

The kilonova briefly mimicked the conditions immediately following the Big Bang, and allowed scientists to confirm the source ...
