Researchers have recently discovered that irradiation-induced defects can drive nearby atoms in silicon carbide (SiC) to rearrange and form a local "core-shell" structure at the atomic scale. The ...

Nuclear physicists used a little magic in their latest experiment conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, and the result has revealed surprising ...

An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, providing key experimental data for understanding the structure of extremely ...

Calculations of the structure in oganesson—the element with the highest atomic number—reveal a uniform, gas-like distribution of its electrons and nucleons. Figure 1: One of the latest additions to ...
