The U.S. nuclear physics community is preparing to build the electron–ion collider (EIC), a flagship facility for probing the ...

We never get to witness its fearsome power because it works only across subatomic distances, where it binds quarks together inside protons and neutrons and joins those nucleons into atomic nuclei.

The stalling means that the star spends the most time creating matter with 56 nucleons, and it just so happens that Iron has 56 nucleons. And go figure, Iron is a primary component in Fe2O3 ...

According to the traditional model, the nucleons inside a nucleus organize themselves in shells, and magic numbers indicate filled shells. For nuclei with a large imbalance of neutrons to protons ...

A white paper recently published in the journal Nuclear Physics A presented an overview of future opportunities in hot ...

from first principles is a great dream of nuclear physicists. Nuclear properties are determined by forces that act between nucleons. In the project, in order to establish accurate and precise nuclear ...

The Electron–Ion Collider (EIC), located at Brookhaven National Laboratory and being built in partnership with Jefferson Lab, ...

The total mass of a nucleus is less than the total mass of the nucleons that make up the nucleus. This difference is known as the mass defect. It is equivalent to the binding energy of the nucleus ...

Powerful probe The Electron-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory will smash together electrons and protons to study the strong nuclear force and the role of gluons in nucleons and nuclei.

The best evidence we have on what nuclei and nucleons actually look like comes from electron scattering. This 2001 book examines the motivation for electron scattering and develops the theoretical ...

(Atoms of this carbon isotope have 13 nucleons: 6 protons + 7 neutrons.) If there are fewer carbon-13 atoms than a certain ...
