A 13-atom molecule containing sulfur has been discovered in interstellar space for the first time, providing insight into the origins of the chemistry of life.

CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven ...

While scientists have a pretty good handle on how protons and neutrons form stable nuclei, there are exceptions to those well-established rules. Known as “Islands of Inversion,” these areas are ...

Evidence of a particle made up of four tightly bound quarks tests physicists’ understanding of the force that holds protons and neutrons together. The particles in a hadron are bound tightly together ...

In this video, we explore fundamental concepts about the atom and the forces that govern it. **CHAPTERS** 0:00 - Why is the Universe inside an atom? 1:29 - What is an atom? 4:44 - Louis de Broglie's ...

Many space-lovers know the phrase “We are all made of star stuff.” And it’s true — our planet formed from the dust cloud left over from the formation of our Sun, and from the planet, all life. That ...

In this video, we explore the origins of the first atom, tracing back to the big bang, where immense energy condensed to form atoms. Key concepts include: - The uncertainty surrounding events before ...

We’ve reached the limit of a very successful way to make new elements in the lab. In new research, scientists unveil a new take on that technology and report its success. The heaviest elements could ...

At the start of the new year, nuclear chemists Hiromitsu Haba and Kouji Morimoto slide precisely 119 Japanese yen into the collection box at their local shrine. They are seeking good fortune in their ...
