Thanks to new research, we now know with much greater certainty the nuclear magnetic moments of francium atoms. Thanks to researchers from The University of Queensland, we now know with much greater ...

The study of chiral nuclear physics explores the phenomenon of handedness that arises from the interplay between triaxial deformation and the angular momentum of valence nucleons. In such systems, the ...

A central focus of our research program are several precision experiments that use parity-violating electron scattering to probe the structure of nucleons (the proton and the neutron).

A researcher, Heikki Mäntysaari from the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), has been part of an international research group that has made significant advances in modeling heavy ion collisions. New ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number of protons equals the number of neutrons. For decades, these strange regions ...

More than 40 researchers from international institutes collaborated to develop and implement a method that enables measurements with unprecedented precision. This sets new standards for theories and ...
