A team working at CERN has reported three discoveries that provide fresh insight into the nuclear reactions behind the ...

How are heavy elements formed in the universe? Extremely neutron-rich atomic nuclei and their beta-decay rates play an ...

University of Tennessee, Knoxville physicists and their colleagues have made critical measurements of the lifetime and decay ...

Scientists have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. Scientists at CERN have ...

The process: The study focuses on a radiation-induced process by which weakly bound matter can fall apart, the so-called electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD). Given predictions that it efficiently ...

Neutrinoless double-β decay is possible only if neutrinos have mass, a condition that has now been confirmed, thanks to the detection of neutrino oscillations. The race is therefore on to find ...
