Scientists have precisely measured two unstable atomic nuclei that play a crucial role in explosive X-ray bursts on neutron stars. The results reveal faster nuclear reactions than previously thought, ...

The blast is what people imagine. A sudden flash, a rising cloud, the moment when history splits into “before” and “after”.

A research team at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the first ever to observe a beta-delayed neutron emission from fluorine-25, a rare, unstable nuclide. Using the FRIB Decay Station ...

Because the nuclei involved are extremely rare and short-lived, scientists usually rely on theoretical models rather than ...

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 ...

A research collaboration between the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams recently ran an experiment that sheds light on the forces holding together atomic nuclei ...

The Kennedy College of Sciences, Department of Physics and Applied Physics, invites you to attend a doctoral dissertation defense by Sanjanee Waniganeththi on "β-Decay Spectroscopy Of Light Rare-Earth ...

Nuclear decay and fusion dynamics constitute central pillars in modern nuclear physics, with implications ranging from energy production and astrophysical phenomena to the synthesis of novel elements.

Models for how heavy elements are produced within stars have become more accurate thanks to measurements by RIKEN nuclear physicists of the probabilities that 20 neutron-rich nuclei will shed neutrons ...

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