Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed an elliptical galaxy known as ...

Researchers at CERN have made a significant breakthrough in nuclear physics by uncovering strong evidence that Tin-100 (100 Sn) has a "doubly magic" nucleus, a property that confers exceptional ...

In this video, we explore the existence of neutrons and their transformation into protons. We discuss why free neutrons are unstable and the significance of mass in particle stability. Key topics ...

A research team at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the first ever to observe a beta-delayed neutron emission ...

Nuclear forces can be compared to a game of catch. With the two-nucleon force, two players, or nucleons, interact by throwing a ball to each other. The ball, a subatomic particle called a meson, can ...

A team of researchers from GSI/FAIR, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz has succeeded in exploring the limits of the so-called island of stability within the ...

Scientists describe how forces in the atomic nucleus work to keep the atom stable. They then explain how researchers make new elements and discuss why large, man-made elements—those beyond atomic ...

Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may make all the difference. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Proinflammatory responses induced by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are dependent on the activation of the NF-ĸB and mitogen-activated protein ...
