Through theoretical derivation, researchers have concluded that a simple linear relationship exists between the reactivity of ...

The 1/v Law as the FoundationThe nuclear reaction cross-sections of major nuclides obey the 1/v law in the thermal neutron region—that is, the ...

Setting a trap for exotic nuclei. (Courtesy: Jonathon Van Schelt) The masses of 33 rare, exotic neutron-heavy nuclides have been measured with high precision by scientists at the Argonne National ...

The finding could be put to use at a new facility opening in 2020 that might create new elements—that is, nuclei with more than 118 protons—in addition to new isotopes of the known elements Scientists ...

LiveChart is an interactive chart that presents the nuclear structure and decay properties of all known nuclides through a user-friendly graphical interface. Most of the accessible data are taken from ...

The thorium based nuclear fuel cycle offers many advantages with respect to safety, reduced proliferation risk and waste management. However, the quality of nuclear data for the relevant materials is ...

We have two spacious wet-chemical labs for cosmogenic nuclide sample preparation. One is devoted to purification of quartz. The other is devoted to mineral dissolution and extraction of the cosmogenic ...

CHANGSHA -- Chinese researchers have successfully extracted high-purity lead-212 and bismuth-212 nuclides from rare earth minerals, the press center of the University of South China said Wednesday.

Scientists have long wondered whether there is a limit to the number of protons and neutrons that can be clustered together to form the nucleus of an atom. A new study comes closer than ever to ...
