Relativistic atomic structure and spectroscopy address the complex interplay of quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of relativity to describe the behaviour of electrons in atoms, particularly ...

Nuclei are not always spherical — they can stretch and twist in subtle ways. This figure maps the relationship between modern shape parameters q 2 and η, and the classic Bohr parameters β and γ, ...

Researchers have quantitatively assessed the impact of extreme laser fields, expected to be achievable in the near future, on the half-lives of deformed nuclei undergoing cluster radioactivity. The ...

An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, providing key experimental data for understanding the structure of extremely ...

From Laser Breakthroughs to New Frontiers in Nuclear Decay ControlWith the continuous progress in experimental laser technology, significant ...

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

For decades, nuclear physicists believed that "Islands of Inversion"—regions where the normal rules of nuclear structure suddenly break down—were found mostly in neutron-rich isotopes. In these ...
