A newly discovered aluminium isotope rapidly self-destructs by ejecting three protons in a rare sequence — shaking up our ...

One of ANSTO's advanced imaging instruments Dingo now delivers a rare fusion of simulation and radiobiology, becoming a launchpad for an innovative neutron therapy innovation.

Collapsing stars might act as cosmic laboratories for discovering hidden neutrino interactions. Neutrinos are among the most puzzling particles in the universe. Nearly massless and incredibly elusive, ...

What if you had a temporal microscope for zooming in on time the way optical, electron and scanning tunneling microscopes ... are based on nuclear oscillations (in the bundle of neutrons and protons ...

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

Neutrons are magnetic, but have no electric charge, making them ideal for studying materials with complex magnetic structures.

Now, most of the atoms in the universe are the two simplest kinds: hydrogen, which has one proton, zero neutrons and one electron; and helium, which has two protons, two neutrons and two electrons.

The Proton and Neutron names aren’t just marketing fluff. Eleveit’s R&D team says they wanted to build boots that are "essential," strong, and built to go the distance, just like the protons and ...

As a flare’s ejected material cools and expands, the protons and neutrons in atoms can become rearranged, creating heavy metals. Elements are determined by their number of protons.

Scientists have produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment. The experiment presents a new method for investigating light, neutron-rich nuclei ...

Here, neutrons, protons and some electrons roam freely. And what truly happens in the core region of a neutron star is a matter of much debate, because the physics here is so far beyond our ...
