The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, entered its 25th and final ...

The explosion released elements heavier than iron—like gold and platinum—through a process known as rapid neutron capture ...

An atom is so small that a single drop of water contains more than a billion atoms. Although tiny, atoms are mostly empty space. The simplified model of the atom is that of a cloud of negative ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 million years ago. Kilonovas occur when binary neutron stars spiral closer and ...

An electron is a stable and negatively charged subatomic particle that also acts as the carrier of electricity. Each electron carries one unit of negative charge (1.602 x 10-19 coulomb) and has a ...

"We are able to measure the local dark matter density using direct acceleration measurements for the first time." Dark matter, widely known as the universe's most mysterious stuff, is rarer on ...

The film discusses the dual nature of atomic energy, likening it to the sun, which can both sustain and destroy life. It explains the structure of atoms and the process of nuclear fission, leading ...

This paper describes a high resolution cryo-EM structure of an [FeFe] hydrogenase purported to operate via an electron bifurcating mechanism. The study aims to resolve a controversy regarding the site ...

Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM,OTCQB:ELMGF,FSE 7YS0) is an exploration and development mining company with several exciting opportunities for strategic growth. First, is the potential for near-term ...

Dose calculation algorithms based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations play a crucial role in radiotherapy. Here, the development and benchmarking of a novel MC dose engine, MonteRay, is presented for ...
