Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

(Nanowerk News) When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the Max ...

An electron collides with a deformed nucleus and produces a single vector meson (J/Psi). The green cone indicates that the J/Psi production carries information about the size and shape of the nucleus, ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? Researchers report on experiments to come closer to an answer. They gained insight ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...

Physicists are uncovering the hidden rules that make certain atomic nuclei unusually stable, revealing how protons and neutrons arrange themselves in ‘magic’ configurations. New models now connect ...

PTB’s ion traps (top right) and the PENTATRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer at MPIK in Heidelberg (bottom left) were used to obtain a new insight into the differences between isotopes and new limits ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have developed a new way to study the shapes of atomic nuclei and their internal building blocks. The method relies on modeling the production of certain particles from high ...
