In a Physical Review Letters study, the HOLMES collaboration has achieved the most stringent upper bound on the effective ...

For the first time, a research team from the University of Cologne has observed the electron capture decay of technetium-98, ...

Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...

Physicists have been given the first glimpse of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC), confirming theoretical predictions that were made more than 40 years ago. The global team – led by Jeff ...

Nuclear chemists and nuclear physicists at the University of Cologne provide experimental proof of a long-suspected atomic decay pathway. The article ...

A worldwide team led by UC Santa Barbara scientists at Las Cumbres Observatory has discovered the first convincing evidence for a new type of stellar explosion — an electron-capture supernova. While ...

For the first time, Rocket Lab will attempt a mid-air helicopter capture of an Electron rocket as it returns to Earth from space, furthering the company’s program to make Electron the first reusable ...

Microbes are masters of survival, evolving ingenious strategies to capture energy from their surroundings. For decades, ...

Six pack: supernova 2018zd is marked with a small white circle on the outskirts of galaxy NGC2146 and meets the six criteria for being a new, third type of supernova predicted 40 years ago. This ...

Hot electron capture would be one way to improve the efficiency of Perovskite solar cells, by directing the energy of those electrons to the external circuit, rather than allowing it to become heat ...
