PROF. SODDY'S letter in NATURE of February 4 would seem to lead to certain interesting conclusions about the structure of the atom. It is easy to show that two elements of different atomic weight must ...

A team of nuclear physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in Japan, working with a colleague from Korea, has discovered a previously unknown uranium isotope with atomic number 92 and mass 241 ...

Spread the loveThe world of nuclear physics is constantly evolving, with new findings that challenge long-held beliefs about atomic structure and behavior. Recently, a collaborative effort from an ...

Scientists have measured the half-lives of five never-before-seen isotopes in a first demonstration of a research facility that will help probe the nuclear structures of elements (Phys. Rev. Lett.

The lightest of all elements, hydrogen, is in great demand due to its promising role as a sustainable resource in the energy transition. A team from Leipzig University and TU Dresden, as part of the ...

Separating different versions of elements—isotopes—is an excruciatingly difficult task: They differ by just one or two extra neutrons, an infinitesimal difference in mass. But University of Chicago ...

DR. LINDEMANN (NATURE, March 4) deduces that the vapour pressure of lead from radio-active origin, or of radium D, should be very considerably different from ordinary lead at comparatively low ...
