University of Liverpool researchers are part of an international research collaboration that has shed light on what happens at the extremes of neutron and proton numbers, in search of where the ...
An international team of scientists has shed light on the extreme ends of neutron and proton numbers. Their goal is to investigate the limits of the periodic table of chemical elements. How far can ...
The analysis of atomic spectra is of fundamental importance for our understanding of atomic structures. Until now, researchers were unable to examine heavy elements with optical spectroscopy because ...
This week's element is nobelium, a synthetic actinoid with the atomic symbol No and atomic number 102. This radioactive metal was named in honour of Alfred Nobel who discovered dynamite and who ...
MOSCOW, January 11. /TASS/. The staff of the Nuclear Reactions Laboratory of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) has synthesized the lightest or the "neutron-deficient" nobelium isotope ...
Sizes and shapes of nuclei with more than 100 protons were so far experimentally inaccessible. Laser spectroscopy is an established technique in measuring fundamental properties of exotic atoms and ...
The discovery of a number of trans-uranium elements – elements heavier and with an atomic number greater than that of uranium (92), the heaviest naturally stable element – has been contested with ...
