A huge detector in the Mediterranean Sea spotted the most energetic neutrino from space to date. The particle could shed light on the universe’s most extreme phenomena.

Our physics expert picks his top-five equations, plus a scheme to supply US power needs with a bucket of baseballs. Thanks, ...

Astronomers using a giant network of sensors, still under construction at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, have found the highest-energy cosmic “ghost particle” ever detected. The neutrino, as the ...

The practical implementation of the fusion-evaporation reaction has allowed scientists to produce many artificial elements beyond uranium in the laboratory ... it was the fusion of californium, with ...

"Using a strong electric field, protons were accelerated to high velocities ... However, this too is a little more complicated, as the uranium atom was first split in 1938 at the Kaiser Wilhelm ...

The current idea is to vitrify the plutonium – bake it into a ceramic glass, like material – and bury it 1000 metres below in a geological disposal facility (GDF). However, the UK currently possesses ...

Decades later, Rutherford’s protegees would discover that the nucleus is made up of particles like protons and neutrons ... fission in the heavy element uranium in 1938, sparking a race toward ...

Shang uncovered a power-law relationship between neutrons and protons in stable and long-lived radioactive ... These structures exhibit diverse uranium coordination and tellurium oxidation states.

ON bombarding uranium with neutrons, Fermi and collaborators 1 found that at least four radioactive substances were produced, to two of which atomic numbers larger than 92 were ascribed.
