The atypical structure of the radium monofluoride molecule allows physicists to search for answers to some of the universe’s ...

A novel experiment has revealed a phenomenon called the Bohr–Weisskopf effect in a pear-shaped nucleus in a molecule for the ...

To study the inner workings of an atom's nucleus, scientists have traditionally relied on sophisticated particle colliders to ...

MIT scientists used radium monofluoride atom to observe electrons entering atomic nuclei, revealing new details of nuclear magnetism.

A giant explosion that shook part of Russia more than a century ago has never been categorically explained. And yet, some scientists believe that it could have been the result of a very close ...

From the burning of wood to the action of medicines, the properties and behavior of matter are governed by the way chemical elements bond with one another. For many of the 118 known elements, the ...

anti-neutrinos -- a key to understanding why the universe appears to be made only of matter rather than equal parts matter and antimatter. Researchers at UCL have played leading role in the NOvA ...

Physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered a new method that allows researchers to examine the inside of an atom’s nucleus using a simple laboratory setup instead of ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...
