This sample of niobium has been treated in a process that is typical for preparing particle accelerator components. Tests have revealed how adding oxygen to such components makes them more efficient.

Oxygen Tweaking May Be the Key to Optimizing Particle Accelerators

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

Visualization of the evolution of the nuclear size and shape from indium and tin isotopes between the major nuclear shells at N=50 and N=82, where N is the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

Testing the Possible Doubly Magic Nature of Tin-100, Researchers Study the Electromagnetic Properties of Indium Isotopes

Scientists are closing in on a major cornerstone of nuclear physics, Tin-100.
