For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

Working at nanoscale dimensions, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory ...

The method chosen depends on the type of mixture. Atomic structure - AQA Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in shells. The numbers of subatomic ...

Empa researchers from the nanotech@surfaces laboratory have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model ...

Rubidium atoms can behave unpredictably during atomic collisions, especially when exposed to specific laser light. Researchers have now discovered that these tiny interactions can release unexpected ...

Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton's inner ...

To directionally imprint slight atomic displacements in the antiferromagnetic ... different facets of the substrate exhibited distinct spin-orbital ordering patterns. "In materials with strong ...
