A huge detector in the Mediterranean Sea spotted the most energetic neutrino from space to date. The particle could shed light on the universe’s most extreme phenomena.

Astronomers using a giant network of sensors, still under construction at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, have found the highest-energy cosmic “ghost particle” ever detected.

This 1911 discovery redefined atomic structure and, therefore, atomic physics. In 1919, Rutherford went a step further, successfully disintegrating the nucleus of a nitrogen atom by firing alpha ...

thorium and uranium, spontaneously and slowly break apart into elements of lower atomic weight. That is to say the atom of such an element has become so complex that they are under the present ...

The other problem is that if your thyroid gland doesn’t work well, the intricacy of interaction with other organs and glands will falter as well. This is one reason why the GI (gastrointestinal) tract ...

During nuclear fission, an unstable uranium atom is split in half, which releases a large amount of energy. Clean burning and effective, it takes only a small amount of uranium to create a large ...

Uranium is a crucial mineral for energy and national security—it fuels the nuclear energy that underpins today’s economy and is key to propelling future growth to meet the surge in energy demand from ...

ON bombarding uranium with neutrons, Fermi and collaborators 1 found that at least four radioactive substances were produced, to two of which atomic numbers larger than 92 were ascribed.
