Cadmium-based nanostructures are opening new possibilities in near-infrared (NIR) technology, from medical imaging to fiber ...

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

For the first time, scientists have acquired direct evidence of rare, pulsing pear-shaped structures within atomic nuclei of ...

The team's findings, published in the journal Physical Review X, advance knowledge of both the structure of the nucleus itself at the atomic level and the behaviors of its subatomic particles.
