The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) of the European Space Agency (ESA) will investigate Jupiter and its icy moons Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, with the aim to better understand the origin and ...

The race to build the first useful quantum computer is on and may revolutionize the world with brand new capabilities, from ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered ...

Dublin, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Neutral-Atom Quantum Computing Market 2026-2036" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The neutral-atom quantum computing ...

Atmospheric sputtering is thought to be one of the dominant mechanisms for atmospheric loss in the early Solar System, when the Sun was brighter and more active. It happens when ions are accelerated ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images ...

Lithium atoms exist as two stable isotopes: lithium-7 makes up 92.5 per cent of the element in nature and the rest is lithium-6. The rarer isotope reacts much more efficiently with neutrons to ...

Working at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (note: they do not mass produce little beams and package them up), a team of scientists successfully produced oxygen-27 and oxygen-28 for the first ...

Those ions are then guided into the linear accelerator, where they are moved through 46 super-cooled cryomodules across a superconducting material, sped ever faster through alternating voltages ...

A research team led by researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has synthesized a new plutonium isotope, plutonium-227.
