The atypical structure of the radium monofluoride molecule allows physicists to search for answers to some of the universe’s ...

Using lasers with precisely tuned frequency, λ, physicists control rotational states of radium monofluoride molecules and excite specific rotational levels, characterized by the quantum number, J.

Illustration of the structure of the radium compound characterized in this research. Single crystal X-ray diffraction provided detailed information on the bonding of radium in an organic molecule for ...

A radium atom and polyatomic molecule are held between the electrodes of an ion trap. Jayich’s team will use the radium molecule to search for time symmetry violation. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

A novel experiment has revealed a phenomenon called the Bohr–Weisskopf effect in a pear-shaped nucleus in a molecule for the ...

It takes a lot of gumption to tackle big questions in physics, especially if you’re not enlisted in one of the small armies of researchers working at the world’s largest particle accelerators and ...

In 1896 Antoine Henri Becquerel of France left some uranium salts lying in the dark near a photographic plate. When he developed the plate he found that some sort of rays from the uranium, passing ...

(Nanowerk News) Imagine a dust particle in a storm cloud, and you can get an idea of a neutron’s insignificance compared to the magnitude of the molecule it inhabits. But just as a dust mote might ...

The IAEA’s programme to foster cooperation between countries with disused radium-226 sources and those with the means to recycle or reuse them had a productive year, according to a technical meeting ...
