An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, ...

Maria Goeppert Mayer was a physicist at Argonne who developed the nuclear shell model theory, a pivotal discovery that won her a Nobel Prize in 1963. This year marks the 75 th anniversary of the ...

Nuclear structure and scattering theory form the core of our understanding of atomic nuclei, unraveling how protons and neutrons interact via the strong force and arrange themselves into complex ...

Charge radii differences in mirror nuclei, which have opposite numbers of protons and neutrons, can help constrain parameters for the equation of state nuclear matter, which describes the properties ...
