Previously this reaction enabled the measurement of protons. However, detecting neutrons in DVCS has been a challenging task. For the first time, the researchers were able to detect neutrons using ...

In the case of lead-208—the heaviest stable isotope known so far—a team of researchers led by physicist Jack Henderson ...

He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of these ideas. Chadwick kept the problem in the back of his mind while working on other things.

Scientists have achieved an incredible feat—mapping the forces inside a proton with extreme precision, uncovering the immense ...

The new Neutron rocket includes a "hippo" mouth fairing that deploys upper stages by spitting them out from inside. The private space company Rocket Lab is on track to launch the first of its new ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have revealed an unprecedented map of the forces acting within a proton. This map ...

Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe. They are the core of a collapsed megastar that went supernova, ...

Einsteinium-255, produced through irradiation in ILL’s high-flux reactor, provided a continuous supply of fermium-255, ...

"This approach breaks down space and time into a fine grid, allowing us to simulate how the strong force -- the fundamental interaction that binds quarks into protons and neutrons -- varies across ...

The interactions between quarks within a proton and the quarks of other protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei are notoriously difficult to fully model. To bring some clarity to the problem ...
