In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei.

The latest experiment also represents the first time the LZ team applied a technique called “salting,” in which false WIMP signals were added in advance. This helped the researchers—who, of course, ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

Israel and Iran launched a new round of attacks as the conflict between the two heavily armed rivals enters its fifth day.

They also measured the atomic masses of the ytterbium isotopes by trapping individual highly-charged Yb 42+ ytterbium ions in the cryogenic PENTATRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer at the MPIK. In the ...

Newlands arranged the elements by increasing atomic mass and noticed that the physical properties of elements seemed to repeat themselves every eight elements in both directions.
