Solar panels are next to useless in the outer solar system, so NASA’s Voyager probes rely on nuclear batteries—technology ...

The question left hanging in the chemical air was whether a methyl could have an independent existence. This caught the eye ...

Foils such as gold (Au-197), indium (In-115), and copper (Cu-63) undergo neutron capture reactions that lead to the formation of radioactive isotopes with measurable decay emissions. For example, gold ...

In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion ...

Does the proton decay? While this was a famous prediction of Grand Unified Theories (GUTS) developed in the 1970s and 1980s, ...

This study shows that RNA decay rather than the presence of premature termination codons triggers a TA-like response.

After a year of fastidious planning, a microscopic sample of the ultra-rare radioactive element berkelium arrived at a ...

Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

An international team of researchers led by the University of Surrey has successfully measured a nuclear reaction that plays ...

Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA plays a crucial role in tissue-specific gene regulation, with disease implications due to splicing defects. Predicting and manipulating AS can therefore uncover ...
