For the first time, a research team has successfully produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an ...

The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

A is the mass number (the sum of the protons and neutrons) Z is the atomic number (the number of protons) X is the chemical symbol of the element Note: the number of neutrons in the nucleus can be ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped ... nucleon by shooting a high-energy electron at it and watching how ...

He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of these ideas. Chadwick kept the problem in the back of his mind while working on other things.

a proton in the lithium nucleus is resonantly excited by the interaction with the electron and promptly decays into a neutron and a positively charged pion. If this neutron subsequently transfers ...

A theoretical study by RIKEN physicists, published in Physics Letters B, has accurately determined the interaction between a ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves ... Inside an atom, it works ...
