Einsteinium-255, produced through irradiation in ILL’s high-flux reactor, provided a continuous supply of fermium-255, ...

In the experiment, SF 6 molecules were exposed to hard X-rays that excited sulfur's innermost electron shells, initiating ... of a neutral but excited sulfur atom, even though multiple electrons ...

Again defying widespread intuition, it turns out that an electron spin can only be prepared in quasi-classical states, which obey the old textbook predictions. Instead we used a much larger particle, ...

it turns out that an electron spin can only be prepared in quasi-classical states, which obey the old textbook predictions. Instead we used a much larger particle, the nucleus of an antimony atom.

An electron is a stable and negatively charged ... Electrons are described as surrounding the nucleus of an atom in shells. These are not actual structures but are regions of probability.

A clean energy transition is happening all over the world as the worsening climate crisis creates an urgent need to decarbonize energy systems.  Unlike fossil fuels like coal and oil, clean energy ...

In the case of lead-208—the heaviest stable isotope known so far—a team of researchers led by physicist Jack Henderson ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

A highly complex spectroscopic method for analysing the extremely fast movements of electrons in solids can now be used much ...
