Heavy nuclei are accelerated to nearly the speed of light and collide with each other to create a new state of matter called QGP that only existed
RHIC physicists collide two beams of protons with their spins aligned in the same direction, and then “antialigned.” The PHENIX
For decades, nuclear theorists have predicted that the neutron-rich barium isotopes near mass number 144 are centered in one of only two or three
New elements and nuclei establishing the existence of the Island of Stability and expanding the Periodic Table of Elements were produced in hot
In 1994, researchers affiliated with DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Lab theorized that it should be possible to produce nanotubes from a white
The neutron skin of the nucleus calcium-48 is much thinner than previously thought.
Nuclear physicists colliding football- and sphere-shaped ions discover evidence supporting a paradigm shift in the birth of the quark-gluon plasma.
Antimatter nuclei as large as antihelium-4—containing two antiprotons and two antineutrons—have been observed in heavy-ion collisions
Measurements of ANCs over the past decade have provided new information about rates of many stellar reactions that involve capturing a proton by
