Three-nucleon force affects nuclear stability, impacting element formation and stellar evolution. The force increases energy ...

Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. There are three isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen, deuterium (hydrogen-2) and tritium ...

Gaining insight could help understand the timing and process of life's emergence. A research team led by a Rutgers-New ...

Random number generation is a key part of cybersecurity and encryption, and it is applied to many apps used in everyday life, ...

If an atom has a magic number of both protons and neutrons, it has the very scientific sounding name of being ‘doubly magic.’ So, when scientists at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory ...

Scientist have concluded water did not arrive as early during Earth's formation as previously thought, an insight that bears directly on the question of when life originated on the planet. The finding ...

Isotopes are different versions of the same chemical element, having the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. For example, nitrogen has two stable isotopes: nitrogen-14 (14N) and ...

Earth received water toward the final stages of its formation. This reshapes understanding of the conditions needed for life.

Water, one of the essential ingredients for life on Earth, did not appear on the planet until after the moon-forming event, a new study claims ...
