MIT scientists have snapped the first-ever images of individual atoms interacting freely in space, making visible the elusive ...

In the cores of neutron stars, the crushing pressures can squeeze apart atomic nuclei, and maybe even protons and neutrons themselves. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the ...

"There are only a few viable yet rare scenarios in the cosmos where these elements can form, and all such locations need a copious amount of neutrons. We propose a new phenomenon where those ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt ...

High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing a series of physical processes that results ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Modifying ultracold liquid helium electron microscopy by replacing copper specimen holders with gold and reducing hole size minimizes ice expansion and movement ...

In this experiment, droplets in an ultracold gas of potassium-41 and rubidium-87 break apart into smaller quantum fragments — behavior previously unseen in quantum degenerate atomic gases. Published ...

When electrons are exposed to a magnetic field at ultracold temperatures and in just two dimensions, where the effects of quantum mechanics are most readily observed, the change in voltage is no ...

For the first time, droplets have been seen shattering into a 'quantum rain' in a degenerate, ultracold fluid of potassium and rubidium isotopes, bridging the classical world of fluid dynamics with ...
