Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

Researchers study neutron star crusts by simulating neutron matter then adding “hidden” neutrons to mediate interactions between “real” neutrons. Next, neural networks construct a quantum wave ...

Physicists working with molybdenum-84, a nucleus containing exactly 42 protons and 42 neutrons, have found that this seemingly balanced atom defies one of nuclear physics’ longest-standing ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based directly on the interactions between their protons and neutrons. Published in ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A purple, sort of flaring-up star is seen on the left and on the right are bright tendrils representing dark matter distribution.

Scientists conduct the first direct probes of the interactions between protons and neutrons inside nuclei. The strong force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, along with gravity, ...

Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have compared “snapshots” of pairs of nucleons separated by various distances, and for the first time observed a key transition in the behavior of the strong nuclear ...

Many applications rely on global theoretical models of how neutrons interact with nuclei over a wide range of incident neutron energies. These applications range from energy production to homeland ...
