A team working at CERN has reported three discoveries that provide fresh insight into the nuclear reactions behind the ...

Led by physicist Si-Min Wang, the research team at Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Ion-beam Application (MOE), Institute of Modern Physics, and Shanghai Research Center for Theoretical Nuclear ...

In the biggest result of its kind in more than ten years, physicists have made the most sensitive measurements yet in a decades-long hunt for a hypothetical and rare process involving the radioactive ...

The process: The study focuses on a radiation-induced process by which weakly bound matter can fall apart, the so-called electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD). Given predictions that it efficiently ...

Scientists have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. Scientists at CERN have ...

University of Tennessee, Knoxville physicists and their colleagues have made critical measurements of the lifetime and decay ...

Nature’s rarest type of atomic nucleus is not giving up its secrets easily. Scientists looking for the decay of an unusual form of the element tantalum, known as tantalum-180m, have come up ...

Neutrinoless double-β decay is possible only if neutrinos have mass, a condition that has now been confirmed, thanks to the detection of neutrino oscillations. The race is therefore on to find ...
