Nuclear physicists extract the sigma meson with unprecedented accuracy

A novel type of radiation-detecting scintillator could lead to benefits for medicine, national security, and particle physics.

Scientists use high-energy heavy ion collisions in a new way to reveal subtleties of nuclear structure with implications for many areas of physics.

Scientists demonstrated a new way to produce the superheavy element livermorium (element 116) with titanium-50.

Scientists investigate the adsorption, thermodynamics, and kinetic properties of terbium on two popular resins for lanthanide separations: DGA and LN.

Modeling the diffusion of oxygen into accelerator cavities allows scientists to tailor their properties.

The shape of tiny silver seeds made of fewer than 200 atoms depends on their precise size and temperature and defines the shape of the final nanoparticle.

Scientists characterize a promethium coordination complex for the first time, furthering the understanding of difficult-to-study lanthanide elements.

Inorganic precursors chosen based on new criteria led to higher phase purity for 32 out of 35 target materials synthesized in a robotic laboratory.

Theorists identify new effects needed to compute the nuclear beta decay rate with a precision of a few parts in ten thousand.
