A novel apparatus at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has made extremely precise ...
Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...
As well as being useful for creating an optical ion clock, this multi-ion capability could also be exploited to create quantum-computing architectures based on multiple trapped ions. And because the ...
When scientists fire beams of electrons at atomic nuclei, the resulting scattering patterns usually behave exactly as theory predicts. It’s one of the great strengths of modern nuclear physics. This ...
The study of octupole correlations and deformations has emerged as a pivotal theme in nuclear physics, shedding light on the intricate interplay between reflection-asymmetric forces and collective ...
Mirror magic: The "cores" of the exotic nuclei oxygen-22 and silicon-22 both resemble that of oxygen-16, with eight protons and eight neutrons. The neutron-rich oxygen isotope contains an additional ...
