[ad_1] The Science Newswise — Fixed numbers of protons and neutrons – the building blocks of nuclei – can rearrange themselves within a single nucleus. The products of this reshuffling include electromagnetic...
[ad_1] The Science Newswise — The element carbon is critical to organic chemistry and life as we know it. The physics of its most common isotope, carbon-12,...
[ad_1] The Science Newswise — Biological molecules called peptides play a key role in many biological activities, including the transport of oxygen and electrons. Peptides consist...
[ad_1] The Science Two-dimensional (2D) materials are just a single or a few layers of atoms thick. These materials often have exotic properties that may be...
[ad_1] The Science Newswise — Understanding how energy moves in materials is fundamental to the study of quantum phenomena, catalytic reactions, and complex proteins. Measuring how energy moves involves shining...
[ad_1] The Science Newswise — The outer planets of our solar system, like Uranus and Neptune, are water-rich gas giants. These planets have extreme pressures of...
[ad_1] Newswise — The Science Quantum materials have a host of exotic electronic, magnetic, and optical properties that make them prime candidates for use in future...
[ad_1] The Science Not all of the material around us is stable. Some materials may undergo radioactive decay to form more stable isotopes. Scientists have now observed a new...
[ad_1] The Science Comparing experimental results and theoretical calculations can be difficult for quantum materials. These are materials that have special properties, such as superconductivity, that can...
[ad_1] The Science Scientists can use powerful colliders to smash atomic nuclei together to create a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This “soup” of quarks and gluons, some of the fundamental building...
[ad_1] The Science Newswise — The U.S. particle physics community is preparing for a major research program with the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). DUNE will...
[ad_1] The Science Ecological researchers study the relationships among different organisms and between organisms and their surroundings. This makes it critical to understand how individual features...
[ad_1] The Science New research sheds light on the mechanism behind how a special material changes from an electrically conducting metal to an electric insulator. The...
[ad_1] The Science What scientists call the “nuclear weak distribution” describes the distribution of “active” protons in a nucleus. These are protons that are eligible to transition into neutrons through what...
[ad_1] Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released a plan to ensure the Department’s Federally funded research is more open and accessible to...
[ad_1] The Science Drizzle is light precipitation in droplets smaller than rain drops. Detecting drizzle in its early stages in marine stratocumulus clouds is important for...
[ad_1] The Science The building blocks of atomic nuclei are protons and neutrons, which are themselves made of even more fundamental particles: quarks and gluons. These particles interact via the “strong” force,...
[ad_1] The Science Outside atomic nuclei, neutrons are unstable particles, with a lifetime of about fifteen minutes. The neutron disintegrates due to the weak nuclear force,...
[ad_1] WHAT DID THE 2012 EARLY CAREER AWARD ALLOW YOU TO DO? Extensive evidence suggests that a staggering 85% of the matter in our universe is dark...
[ad_1] The Science Inside the proton are elementary particles called quarks. Quarks and protons have an intrinsic angular momentum called spin. Spin can point in different...
