For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

Carbon and silicon are used in nuclear fission and fusion reactors as shielding and structural materials. Nuclear engineers also use these elements in fuel and neutron moderators, which regulate the ...

AMES, Iowa – James Vary has been waiting for nuclear physics experiments to confirm the reality of a “tetraneutron” that he and his colleagues theorized, predicted and first announced during a ...

A new theory-guided framework could help scientists probe the properties of new semiconductors for next-generation microelectronic devices, or discover materials that boost the performance of quantum ...

What is Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS)? Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale.
