A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei.

Physicists have found a new “island of inversion” in the nucleus of molybdenum-84, a perfectly balanced atom with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. The discovery upends a decades-old assumption ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — You might have thought that scientists had already cataloged the 118 natural elements–from hydrogen to silicon to uranium–and their various isotopes. Unfortunately, only the first ...

Actinium-225 is an alpha emitter, spewing out tiny bundles of energy that promise to kill cancer cells, but only at short range. This isotope and others like it are the focus of a ...
