Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...

An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, ...

Known as “islands of inversion,” these odd regions are found among a sea of normal nuclei. Now, a new island may have been ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected breakdown of nuclear order in a remarkably symmetric atom, challenging long-standing ideas about where such effects can occur.

Nuclear structure and scattering theory form the core of our understanding of atomic nuclei, unraveling how protons and neutrons interact via the strong force and arrange themselves into complex ...

Nuclei are not always spherical — they can stretch and twist in subtle ways. This figure maps the relationship between modern shape parameters q 2 and η, and the classic Bohr parameters β and γ, ...

Relativistic atomic structure and spectroscopy address the complex interplay of quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of relativity to describe the behaviour of electrons in atoms, particularly ...

Many heavy atomic nuclei are shaped more or less like squashed rugby balls than fully inflated ones, according to a theoretical study by RIKEN nuclear physicists published in The European Physical ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps explain how these tumors resist environmental stress and thrive in acidic, low ...

The tests for tightness and strength of the containment building at Bangladesh's first nuclear power plant unit have been carried out successfully. (Image: Rosatom) During the process a compressor was ...

To mark the release of the IAEA report Coal to Nuclear: Supporting a Clean Energy Transition — developed for South Africa’s 2025 G20 Presidency — the IAEA is hosting a webinar on the potential of ...
