Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit.

A research team at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the first ever to observe a beta-delayed neutron emission ...

Along with advancing lung health research, neutron research at ORNL enables researchers to make groundbreaking discoveries that support critical areas, such as artificial intelligence, quantum and ...

Might the secret to dark matter be lurking in the very devices engineered to fuel our destiny? Physicists have now sketched out a theoretical route to creating axions-theoretical particles that have ...

Physicists have found the strongest sign yet of a fabled four of a kind. For six decades, researchers have hunted for clusters of four neutrons called tetraneutrons. But evidence for their existence ...

Can neutrons be located at a different place than their own spin? A quantum experiment demonstrates a new kind of quantum paradox. The Cheshire Cat featured in Lewis Caroll's novel "Alice in ...

For the last 30 years there has been a very small controversy rumbling in the hallowed halls of physics. Way back in 1985, scientists from the then-USSR noted that whenever a thunder storm passed over ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

The quantum properties of the electromagnetic force are seen in phenomena throughout nature, such as the fixed orbits of electrons within atoms. Similarly, the structure of nuclei demonstrates the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. The story of our cosmic history is one of an expanding and cooling ...

FOR more than a year we have been engaged in investigating the action of neutrons and rays: (a) in affecting the stability of colloids, and (b) in promoting chemical reactions. As sources of radiation ...

A system of four neutrons known as the tetraneutron is a hypothetical state in nuclear physics. The report of evidence for the fleeting existence of this state has implications for research into ...
