Imaging shapes of atomic nuclei in high-energy nuclear collisions Research into nuclear structure usually involves deducing the shape of a nucleus by exciting it to a higher energy state (in a ...

We propose that a conserved DNA-damage response induces cumulative changes in chromatin structure and nuclear architecture that are important driving forces behind the inexorable changes that ...

1 The electronic structure of sodium can also be shown in a diagram. Each dot represents an electron. Since the atomic number of oxygen is 8, it will have 8 protons in the nucleus. An atom of ...

Physicists say the LHC could provide evidence to back up theoretical findings on how shapes of atomic nuclei change under ...

ENSDF is a database that contains evaluated nuclear structure and decay information for over 3,000 nuclides. An international network of evaluators regularly contributes to the database, which is ...

taking a major step forward in our understanding of nuclear structure and strong interactions. For the first time, the particle physics perspective – where nuclei are seen as made up of quarks and ...

The method is complementary to lower energy techniques for determining nuclear structure. It will add depth to scientists' understanding of the nuclei that make up the bulk of visible matter.

The scattering of high-energy electrons from nuclear and nucleon targets provides a microscope for examining the structure of these tiny objects. The best evidence we have on what nuclei and nucleons ...

In a study published in the journal Nature, the research team provide insight into the structure of atomic nuclei of fermium (element 100) and nobelium (element 102) with different numbers of ...
