Scientists have just managed to reproduce a nuclear reaction that had never been observed directly before. The experiment ...

Neutron capture cross section measurements at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) have been pivotal in advancing our understanding of nuclear reactions that underpin both ...

All around us are elements forged in stars, from the nickel and copper in coins to the gold and silver in jewelry. Scientists have a good understanding of how these elements form: In many cases, a ...

A neutron star accreting material from a companion star, producing periodic X-ray bursts. Inset shows how the new data affect the temperature dependence of the synthesis flow of chemical elements ...

Researchers measured very precisely atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes and found an interesting feature in their nuclear binding energies. The discovery provides essential data for ...

The study shows how some stars churn out heavy elements with no roadblock.

A breakthrough experiment has shed new light on one of astrophysics’ biggest mysteries: the origin of rare proton-rich elements. For the first time, scientists directly measured a key reaction that ...

Simulation of neutron star collision. Detections of gravitational waves from merging neutron stars tipped off researchers here on Earth that it should be possible to predict how neutrons interact with ...

Doctoral Researcher Arthur Jaries use the RFQ device. He will defend his PhD thesis at the Department of Physics in June. Researchers at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, ...
