For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

A Jilin University team has reported a novel strategy using pressure engineering to identify the organic–inorganic ...

A breakthrough in heavy-element chemistry shatters long-held assumptions about transuranium elements. Researchers have ...

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208 (²⁰⁸Pb), the heaviest known "doubly magic" nucleus, was perfectly spherical. New research, however, has shattered that assumption. An international team ...

To develop a practical fusion power system, scientists need to fully understand how the plasma fuel interacts with its surroundings. The plasma is superheated, which means some of the atoms ...

Russia has denied any responsibility for the attack. The head of the UN-backed international atomic energy watchdog, IAEA – which has a team based at the former Soviet nuclear site in Ukraine – issued ...
