Nuclear physicists make new, high-precision measurement of the layer of neutrons that encompass the lead nucleus, revealing new information about neutron stars
A new theoretical model shows that alloying accelerator structures with oxygen provides a faster, better, cheaper path to predictable accelerator performance
Physicists develop a universal function that suggests that proton-neutron pairs in the nucleus may explain why quarks inside nuclei have lower average momenta than predicted.
A new study has confirmed that increasing the number of neutrons as compared to protons in the atom’s nucleus also increases the average momentum of its protons.
