In simple terms, that assertion is correct, but for those with an expertise in the field, the longer answer to who did it first is almost as complex as the science involved. After all, as particle ...

Three-nucleon force affects nuclear stability, impacting element formation and stellar evolution. The force increases energy ...

What’s the safest place to store important information? No, it’s not your external hard drive or some secret cloud ...

When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney have proven that ...

In his Inaugural Address, Trump credited Americans with splitting the atom, an achievement credited by many to pioneering physicist Ernest Rutherford of New Zealand.

The results confirmed the original anomaly, but thanks to new nuclear theory calculations from researchers at TU Darmstadt, ...

In 1919 Rutherford had discovered the proton, a positively charged particle within the atom's nucleus. But they and other researchers were finding that the proton did not seem to be the only ...

Credited with splitting the nucleus of an atom during experiments at the U.K.'s Manchester University in 1917, Rutherford was "the first to artificially induce a nuclear reaction by bombarding ...

The international team also used the data to get direct information about the deformation of the atomic nucleus in ytterbium ...

Our estimates of the size of a neutrino span from smaller than an atomic nucleus to as large as a few metres, but now we are ...

After all, as particle physicist Dr Harry Cliff put it, even the term "splitting the atom" is "problematic". Atoms are the building blocks of all matter and are made up of a nucleus and a number ...
