Setting a trap for exotic nuclei. (Courtesy: Jonathon Van Schelt) The masses of 33 rare, exotic neutron-heavy nuclides have been measured with high precision by scientists at the Argonne National ...

LiveChart is an interactive chart that presents the nuclear structure and decay properties of all known nuclides through a user-friendly graphical interface. Most of the accessible data are taken from ...

Chinese scientists have extracted cancer-fighting nuclides, atoms with a particular number of subatomic protons and neutrons, from rare earth minerals, according to state-run media. The University of ...

This map shows presently known isotopes of the heaviest elements as squares. Blue: Calculated strength of shell effects. Red: nobelium and lawrencium isotopes studied. Green / yellow: Nuclides whose ...

The JRC has released a new edition of the Karlsruhe Nuclide Chart, an extended periodic table which displays all known isotopes of every element and their radioactive data. The 9th edition contains ...

Scientists have long wondered whether there is a limit to the number of protons and neutrons that can be clustered together to form the nucleus of an atom. A new study comes closer than ever to ...

We have two spacious wet-chemical labs for cosmogenic nuclide sample preparation. One is devoted to purification of quartz. The other is devoted to mineral dissolution and extraction of the cosmogenic ...

The thorium based nuclear fuel cycle offers many advantages with respect to safety, reduced proliferation risk and waste management. However, the quality of nuclear data for the relevant materials is ...

CHANGSHA -- Chinese researchers have successfully extracted high-purity lead-212 and bismuth-212 nuclides from rare earth minerals, the press center of the University of South China said Wednesday.
