In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered ...

An international team of researchers, led by scientists from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany, has studied r-process ...

Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that ...

A new seaborgium isotope may unlock the path to discovering even shorter-lived superheavy nuclei through K-isomer states. An ...

Remarkably, a primary hydrogen–deuterium isotope effect is readily detected at the single-molecule level during prototropic rearrangement of an initial adduct.

To elucidate the origin of this nontrivial isotope effect, the team conducted theoretical simulations using density functional theory (DFT), path-integral molecular dynamics (PIMD), and model ...

Quantum nature of hydrogen bonds in water manifests itself in peculiar physicochemical isotope effects: while deuteration often elongates and weakens hydrogen bonds of typical hydrogen-bonded ...

But the so-called kinetic isotope effect makes the bonds forged between carbon and deuterium tougher to break than those that bind carbon and mere hydrogen. For decades, ...
