Thanks to a new experimental technique, scientists have now measured a crucial fusion reaction, involving hydrogen and a rare isotope of oxygen, that occurs inside stars. Stars shine because nuclear ...
Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a method to increase fusion reaction rates at room temperature. Using a custom-built, bench-top reactor, the team demonstrated ...
A research team from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has directly measured the masses of two highly unstable atomic nuclei, phosphorus-26 and sulfur-27.
