Quantum Leap Energy LLC plans to utilize technology acquired from One 30 Seven to develop Creber Units to process water-soluble nuclear waste by accelerating beta decay of radioactive waste, such as ...

Hickory dickory dock, this nucleus could make a great clock. A special variety of the element thorium hosts an atomic nucleus that could be used to keep time, scientists say. In a first, researchers ...

Nuclear stability, a cornerstone of nuclear physics, hinges on a delicate balance of forces within the atomic nucleus. At its core, understanding this stability involves identifying the key factors ...

Radioactivity is the phenomenon where unstable atomic nuclei spontaneously emit particles or energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This emission transforms the original nuclide into a ...

For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay. Scientists have previously observed interesting ...

Double beta decay research represents a pivotal field at the intersection of nuclear physics and particle physics, probing the fundamental nature of neutrinos and their role in the matter–antimatter ...

How long did it take our Sun to form in its stellar nursery? Scientists are now closer to an answer. They succeeded in the measurement of the bound-state beta decay of fully-ionized thallium ions at ...

An extremely precise atomic balance: PENTATRAP consists of five Penning traps arranged one above the other (yellow tower in the middle). In these identically constructed traps, ions in the excited ...
