Oklo and Atomic Alchemy are forming a strategic partnership to produce radioisotopes from Oklo’s recycling process and through fast reactor production of isotopes. The partnership will aim to increase ...

For the first time those little numbers that appear beneath some of the commonest elements in the periodic table boxes are about to change from a single value to an interval of numbers An ...

An international research collaboration has provided experimental and theoretical evidence for the existence of the magic number of six in carbon isotopes. The researchers experimentally determined ...

A research team has used a machine learning approach to investigate the evolution of shell structure for nuclei far from the stability valley. The study, published in Physics Letters B and conducted ...

It may contain inaccuracies due to the limitations of machine translation. Tokyo Tech: "The theory of atomic nuclear structure may need to be rewritten" The oxygen isotope discovered by a research ...

At the far end of the periodic table is a realm where nothing is quite as it should be. The elements here, starting at atomic number 104 (rutherfordium), have never been found in nature. In fact, they ...

A supercomputer has calculated the number of isotopes allowed by the laws of physics. Physicists used a quantum approach known as density functional theory, applying it independently to six leading ...
