The periodic table organizes chemical elements based on atomic weight, electron configurations, and chemical properties, ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Originally discovered in 2007 by American ...

Instead, it was built as a shell to test the mechanical design of the Materials ... particularly in the fields of isotope production and neutron science (see “Making the most of neutrons”). At the ORR ...

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 ...

"Using cryo-electron microscopy, we looked at the structure of the ZorAB complex in great detail. We found that it works like a tiny motor powered by protons. This motor helps the bacteria detect a ...

Relativistic effects are also present in mercury. With a heavy nucleus (79 protons) and a lone electron in its outermost electron shell, gold should have fairly similar properties to silver ...
