For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay.
Scientists successfully measure high-dimensional qudits, cousins to quantum computing qubits.
Understanding radium’s chemistry increases the likelihood of using it for targeted alpha therapy in soft tissue.
An easy-to-use system can increase the availability of PET imaging agents to more patients.
Scientists find the key to engineering plant signaling to allow colonization by beneficial fungi.
Nuclear “filters” will aid in searches for new-physics events occurring with odds of one in 100 quadrillion.
New calculations suggest that high energy quarks should scatter wider and faster in hot quark matter than can be accounted for by local interactions.
First measurements of how hypernuclei flow from particle collisions may give insight into the strange matter makeup and properties of neutron stars.
Modern nuclear theory predicts that nucleons appear less “squishy” when probed with neutrinos than was previously inferred from experimental data.
Hard to produce in quantities and purities appropriate for human use, scandium radioisotopes have potential for imaging cancer.
Researchers worked out how to efficiently prepare wave functions for the lithium-6 nuclear ground state and implemented those on quantum hardware.
By reanalyzing the distribution of active protons in nuclei, researchers found a possible solution to a particle physics puzzle involving quarks.
