Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported new experimental ...

UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...

In a groundbreaking achievement, physicists have successfully peered inside the nucleus of a molecule using electrons as a ...

Many heavy atomic nuclei are shaped more or less like squashed rugby balls than fully inflated ones, according to a ...

A novel experiment has revealed a phenomenon called the Bohr–Weisskopf effect in a pear-shaped nucleus in a molecule for the first time.

The atypical structure of the radium monofluoride molecule allows physicists to search for answers to some of the universe’s ...

High-precision astrometry and new spacecraft imagery show 3I/ATLAS made a measurable course adjustment that brought it to Jupiter's Hill sphere, provoking a rift between NASA's cometary interpretation ...

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS challenges physics with a missing dust tail, a forward anti-tail, and strange composition.

All around us are elements forged in stars, from the nickel and copper in coins to the gold and silver in jewelry. Scientists ...

The flare is ongoing, meaning that the black hole is still actively consuming the star, like "a fish only halfway down the ...

Is the viral 3I/Atlas leaked photo real or fake? A clear fact check on its origin, what NASA data show, why basic optics say no, and how social media fueled the debate.
