Alchemy is no longer a myth. See how scientists turned lead to gold by recreating Big Bang conditions on Earth and why this ...

For a mere moment after the Big Bang, no neutrons or protons are thought to have existed. These neutral and positively charged particles, respectively, make up the center of all atoms today. But ...

Rumors are circulating that laboratories in China can produce gold. Here's how gold is made in labs, as we know it.

A novel apparatus at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has made extremely precise ...

Researchers have identified rare proton emissions that reveal how the neck of a nucleus stretches and snaps, providing a new ...

Nuclear physics is the study of the protons and neutrons at the centre of an atom and the interactions that hold them together in a space just a few femtometres (10-15 metres) across. Example nuclear ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

For example, the atomic number of sodium is 11. Every sodium atom has 11 protons and 11 electrons. It has 11 positive charges and 11 negative charges. The mass number of an atom is its total number of ...

Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...

This Section implements all activities of the IAEA's Water Resources Programme, which promotes and transfers know-how on the use of isotope hydrology as an effective tool for water resources ...
