This isotope is found at a ratio of about one per 2,500 helium-4 ions, the latter being the common version of helium.

New results published in Physical Review Letters describe a first-time glimpse of the internal structure of the neutron thanks to the development of a special, 10-years-in-the-making detector ...

Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) have developed a novel top ...

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars.

Explore the innovative radiation detector developed by the University of Jyväskylä for comprehensive ionising radiation ...

Messengers: When two neutron stars merge, they emit gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. Detecting and analysing these signals can provide profound insights into the underlying processes ...

and in order to obtain an adequate efficiency of detection it was necessary to use a rather large gas volume. This counter limited the neutron energy resolution in two ways: at low neutron ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.

A study published in Physical Review Letters outlines a new approach for extracting information from binary systems by ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from UB and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams ...
