Three-nucleon force affects nuclear stability, impacting element formation and stellar evolution. The force increases energy ...

Carnegie Mellon University's Professor Curtis Meyer and his research colleagues explore an uncharted world inside protons and ...

Researchers are delving into the world of starquakes to understand the densest matter in the universe within neutron stars. This study not only bridges the gap between astronomy and nuclear physics ...

After division, the high neutron/proton ratio of uranium will tend to readjust itself by beta decay to the lower value suitable for lighter elements. Probably each part will thus give rise to a ...

Get up to speed on gamma rays, the radiation responsible for creating the Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World.

Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow ...

However, as the number of protons increases, more neutrons are needed to keep the nucleus stable. For example lead (lead-206) has 82 protons and has 124 neutrons. If the nucleus has too few ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs), originally designed for detecting photons, can also accurately detect high-energy protons. This unexpected finding ...

The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.

Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion (IECF) is an exciting approach to achieving nuclear fusion that has captured the attention of researchers due to ...

Random number generation is a key part of cybersecurity and encryption, and it is applied to many apps used in everyday life, ...
