A neutron is one of the subatomic particles that make up matter. The neutron has no electric charge and a rest mass equal to 1.67493E−27 kg — marginally greater than that of the proton but nearly 1839 …
A "rocket" typically refers to the propulsion system or simpler projectile, while "missile" denotes a more sophisticated weapon capable of being guided or controlled. Ballistic missiles, for instance, follow a …
DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid argon (LAr) dark matter detector, located 2 km underground at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada, which started taking data in 2016. The detector is sensitive to nuclear recoils induced by scattering of dark matter particles...
We exhibit a unital simple nuclear non-type-I C*-algebra into which the Jiang-Su algebra does not embed unitally. This answers a question of M. Rørdam....
A detailed analysis of the Nuclear Stellar Cluster (NSC) concedes not only the existence of the Scluster with its fast-moving stars and the supermassive black hole (SMBH) Sgr A*. It also reveals an embedded region of gas and dust with an exceptionall...
There are numerous examples of very nearly degenerate states of opposite parity in molecular physics. The ammonia maser is based on one such double. Theory shows that these parity doubles can occur if the nuclear shape in the molecule is reflection...
A week ago I was really upset with my mother-in-law when she came to our house and pretty much took over. She changed all our plans, she always does this but recently it got worse. My nuclear family c...
Potassium-40 is a widespread isotope whose radioactivity impacts estimated geological ages spanning billions of years, nuclear structure theory, and subatomic rare-event searches - including those for dark matter and neutrinoless double-beta decay. T...
Potassium-40 is a widespread, naturally occurring isotope whose radioactivity impacts subatomic rare-event searches, nuclear structure theory, and estimated geological ages. A predicted electron-capture decay directly to the ground state of argon-40...
Clemenceau sailed more than 1,000,000 nautical miles (1,900,000 km; 1,200,000 mi) during 3,125 days at sea. She was equipped to handle nuclear munitions to
Feb 27, 2026 · The premise of each season typically centred on a grave terrorist threat to the United States, such as a nuclear attack. Working with limited information and compounding obstacles, …
Excitation of the anomalously low lying nuclear isomer $^{229m}$Th$(3/2^+, 8.28 \pm 0.17$ eV) in the process of inelastic electron scattering is studied theoretically in the framework of the perturbation theory for the quantum electrodynamics. The ca...

Large momentum transfer reactions such as pion production represent the frontier of Chiral Perturbation Theory and must be understood before more complex reactions can be considered. Pion production is also interesting in its own right, one applicati...
We study the effect of vacuum polarization in nuclear reactions of astrophysical interest. This effect has the opposite sign compared to the screening by the atomic electrons. It is shown that vacuum polarization further increases the longstanding...
ESCAPE (European Science Cluster of Astronomy & Particle physics ESFRI research infrastructures) is an EU H2020 project that addresses the Open Science challenges shared by the astrophysics and and accelerator-based physics and nuclear physics ESFRI...
