However, the results came out too crude, and we decided to extend the samples to 6 particles to examine whether Xenon has a fixed triaxial structure or its shape is changing,” says You Zhou.

An exotic and extremely rare nuclear decay that involves the simultaneous capture of two atomic electrons by a xenon-124 nucleus has been observed in a dark-matter detector. Physicists in the XENON ...

Xenon is an inert gas in group VIII A of the periodic table with atomic number 54, an atomic weight of 131.3, and a density of 3.06 Mg/m 3. In the solid state it forms an fcc crystal with a melting ...

This non-trivial structure can be represented as having parallel zigzag xenon chains (Xe–Xe distances of 2.62 Å), with each xenon atom having two neighbouring oxygen atoms in the form of bent ...

The present volume of Atomic and Plasma–Material Interaction Data for Fusion presents the results of a coordinated research project (CRP) on Atomic Data for Heavy Element Impurities in Fusion Reactors ...

The process the team observed is called double electron capture. According to the scientists, the atomic nucleus of Xenon-124 has 54 positively charged protons and 70 neutral neutrons surrounded ...

To measure the van der Waals forces, scientists in Basel used a low-temperature atomic force microscope with a single xenon atom on the tip. They then fixed the individual argon, krypton and xenon ...

Data storage using individual molecules Date: December 17, 2018 Source: University of Basel Summary: Researchers have reported a new method that allows the physical state of just a few atoms or ...

The weaker long-range residue of the strong force, in turn, binds nucleons into atomic nuclei. For example, this residue binds together the 124 nucleons (54 protons and 70 neutrons) of a xenon-124 ...
