Researchers at CERN have made a significant breakthrough in nuclear physics by uncovering strong evidence that Tin-100 (100 Sn) has a "doubly magic" nucleus, a property that confers exceptional ...

Visualization of the evolution of the nuclear size and shape from indium and tin isotopes between the major nuclear shells at N=50 and N=82, where N is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. The ...

Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Standard atomic weights, those numbers emblazoned under the elements on the periodic table, were once thought of as unchanging constants of nature. But researchers have tweaked the atomic weights of ...

Purdue University researchers have created transparent organic conductors from patent-pending polymers that achieve the same results and properties as traditional conductors made from rare-earth ...

A small gold oven sent to Russia's MIR space station may give scientists valuable insights into diffusive transport in liquids, a fundamental physical process that is so little understood that there ...
