Superconductors can carry electricity without losing energy, a superpower that makes them invaluable for a range of ...

In physics, the term "isotropy" means a system where the properties are the same in all directions. For fusion, neutron ...

A physicist explains how atoms arrange themselves into molecules – and how scientists are able to image these tiny bits of ...

A US-based research team has used neutron scattering to study lithium movement in a promising solid-state battery material.

The size of an atom is only a few angstroms at most - there are 10 billion angstroms in 1 metre. This video also looks at the ...

Scientists used the most massive fundamental particles to break special relativity, but even that didn’t work.

There are striking similarities between how elementary particles come together to form atoms, molecules and eventually various materials and how a family, a village and then a society is established ...

Abstract: It is widely recognized that the proton and neutron SEE cross sections are nearly equal above 50 MeV. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether this conclusion holds true for devices ...

Australian scientists have discovered a collapsed star called a neutron star that spins thousands of times slower than expected. The star, called ASKAP J1839-075, is one of a number of recent ...

"Because nuclei are made of protons and neutrons, it is natural to ask what would the entanglement do to nuclei structure," Tu said. "We plan to use the electron-ion collider (EIC) to study this.

When supermassive stars reach the end of their lives and explode in a supernova, the remnants form a super-dense object called a neutron star. Pulsars are neutron stars that spin rapidly ...
