A newly discovered excited state in radioactive sodium-32 has an unusually long lifetime, and its shape dynamics could be the cause.
The Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) finds evidence of the sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that interacts only via gravity
Measurements of the nuclear structure of cesium-136 open a new channel for measurements of astrophysical neutrinos and searches for dark matter.
Department of Energy user facility helps probe questions from changes in the structure of nuclei to nuclear reactions that shape the Universe.
A new system for detecting photons in laser-powered quantum computers brings these systems closer to reality.
Matter inside neutron stars can have different forms: a dense liquid of nucleons or a dense liquid of quarks.
Researchers examine the structure of the low-energy nuclear states of carbon-12 using nuclear lattice effective field theory.
Simulations of binary neutron star mergers suggest that future detectors will distinguish between different models of hot nuclear matter.
Novel techniques allow the first direct observation of a predicted effect that results in the suppression of gluon radiation emitted by a heavy quark.
Jets of particles in quark-gluon plasma from heavy-ion collisions lose energy via radiation, but how they radiate energy depends on the jet’s structure.
Theorists predict differential distribution of 'up' and 'down' quarks within protons—and differential contributions to the proton's properties.
Scientists take pictures of a nuclear reaction in the laboratory to understand processes inside the cores of stars.
