A schematic diagram of proton and neutron distributions for mirror nuclei argon-31 and aluminum-31. Left side is the weakly bound proton-rich nucleus argon-31, which is predicted to exhibit a ...

THE position of argon in a classification of the elements depending on atomic weights has been recently defined by C. J. Reed (Journal of the Franklin Institute, July). The elements are assigned ...

What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

Researchers at Xi’an Jiaotong University in China have found a novel approach to synthesizing superheavy element nuclei beyond uranium using less beam energy than conventional approaches. This could ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...
