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 ...

British philosopher Bertrand Russell said of the difference between our physical world experience and the scientific world of continually changing matter, “There is … some conflict between what common ...

The study of 'starquakes' (like earthquakes, but in stars) promises to give us important new insights into the properties of ...

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 ...
