For the first time, a research team has successfully produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an ...

Neutron-scattering experiments have revealed a predicted high-pressure phase of ice called ‘plastic ice VII’, in which molecules form crystals, as they do in normal ice, but rotate as in ...

“We proved the existence of a new class of quantum materials that are both metallic and one-dimensional magnets, with strong ...

Scientists have produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment. The experiment presents a new method for investigating light, neutron-rich nuclei ...

Lenses are powerless to bend them, and because neutrons have no charge, electric fields do not affect them ... used imaging techniques such as neutron scattering and neutron diffraction.

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying ...

Physicists propose that high-energy photon jets from collapsing stars may be secret factories of heavy elements like ...

Scientists may have discovered a new cosmic source of gold: magnetars—super-magnetic neutron stars that unleash powerful ...

A physics first, neutron Airy beams could reveal information useful for pharmaceuticals and quantum computing.
