An international research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI has measured the radius of the nucleus of muonic helium-3 with unprecedented precision. The results are an important stress test ...

A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in determining fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. The team conducted laser spectroscopy experiments on muonic helium-3. Muonic helium-3 is ...

Researchers found the south polar region darkened in winter shadow, while the north polar region brightened as summer came.

Sun is the source of life on Earth, but have you ever wondered what’s really happening inside this giant ball of gas? Despite being millions of miles away, scientists have developed methods to peer ...

Helium is used in deep sea diving ... Instead of examining people and bodies, these machines, known as NMRs, examine the structure of all chemicals. “It is one of the most important machines ...

they would find helium atoms worked into the crystal structure (known as a lattice) of iron. And indeed, upon inspection, helium atoms were found between iron atoms in the lattice structure—the ...

and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth’s core. This could challenge long-standing ideas about the planet’s internal structure and history, and may even ...
