A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei.

Mechanism explains how the most energetic form of light can be produced in areas dominated by bright, young stars In 2002, when astronomers first detected cosmic gamma rays — the most energetic form ...

The research, led by a graduate student at FRIB, reported new experimental results addressing the origin of rare proton-rich isotopes heavier than iron, called p-nuclei Many of the nuclei involved in ...

In space, energetic neutrinos are usually paired with energetic gamma rays. Galaxy NGC 1068, however, emits strong neutrinos and weak gamma rays, which presents a puzzle for scientists to solve. A new ...

The proton is a composite particle made up of fundamental building blocks of quarks and gluons. These components and their interactions determine the proton’s structure, including its electrical ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

As these TeV gamma rays propagate across intergalactic space, they scatter off the dim background light from stars, creating cascades of electron–positron pairs. The pairs should then scatter on the ...
