Scientists have reproduced the properties of atomic nuclei using quark-gluon models, something that had eluded physicists for ...

Nuclear fission—when the nucleus of an atom splits in two, releasing energy—may seem like a process that is fully understood.

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by ...

At low energies, the atomic nucleus has always been about protons and neutrons, but now there’s a way to see beyond.

Quantum theory describes events that take place on extremely short time scales. In the past, such events were regarded as ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem ...

How long do neutrons live? Different measurement results contradict each other. Researchers at TU Wien propose that free ...

The temporary pair of correlated nucleons is highlighted in purple. The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons.

The emergence of quantum entanglement is one of the fastest processes in nature. Scientists show that using special tricks, this can be investigated on an attosecond scale. Scientists have managed to ...

Two dark matter experiments have spotted signs of neutrinos knocking into atomic nuclei in their detectors. The finding portends a future obstacle for the ...
