A team working at CERN has reported three discoveries that provide fresh insight into the nuclear reactions behind the creation of heavy elements during violent cosmic events. The research, published ...

A research team led by Prof. Yossi Paltiel at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with groups from HUJI, Weizmann and IST Austria has published a new study that reveals the influence of nuclear spin on ...

An international research team has achieved an important milestone for astrophysics at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt: In the CRYRING@ESR storage ring, scientists were able to measure nuclear reactions at ...

Ligand-based separation processes play a central role in the management and recycling of nuclear fuel. They rely on organic or hybrid molecules that selectively coordinate to f-block cations, allowing ...

Researchers have discovered that nuclear spin influences biological processes, challenging long-held beliefs. They found that certain isotopes behave differently in chiral environments, affecting ...
