Alchemy is no longer a myth. See how scientists turned lead to gold by recreating Big Bang conditions on Earth and why this ...

The study is part of Henna Kokkonen's doctoral thesis. Credit: Tommi Sassi For the first time in almost 30 years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous ...

Turning lead into gold famously used to be the goal of ancient alchemists, but their modern counterparts have actually ...

A new atomic nucleus 149-Lutetium, consisting of 71 protons and 78 neutrons, has been synthesized. A new atomic nucleus 149-Lutetium, consisting of 71 protons and 78 neutrons, has been synthesized in ...

In a cavernous tunnel beneath the French–Swiss border, physicists have briefly recreated conditions that existed microseconds ...

CERN's ALICE collaboration reveals how fragile deuterons survive high-energy collisions, impacting models of cosmic rays and ...

For the first time in more than thirty years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous similar breakthrough was achieved in 1996. The radioactive decay of ...

A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

In an atomic nucleus, protons and neutrons presumably dance around in twosomes, like couples at a grand ball. This hypothetical pairing, which is supported by experimental evidence, enables physicists ...

A new atomic nucleus of lutetium, 149 Lu consisting of 71 protons and 78 neutrons, has been synthesized in an experiment performed in the Accelerator Laboratory of University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
