Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have made a groundbreaking ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

The transplutonium actinides are highly radioactive and rare, making them difficult to study. To examine their chemical ...

Lithium-ion batteries are reaching a saturation point; so it's time for a new technology - Silicon carbon. Here's everything ...

Rocks loafing about on the surface of Mars have been harboring secrets about the red planet's mysterious past.

Scientists have been building nuclear weapons for more than 80 years, but crafting this technology remains a challenge.

Scientists reveal water formed soon after the first supernova explosions, suggesting life-friendly conditions existed earlier ...

An international team of researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a new method for analyzing actinides. The method provides unique insights into the electronic ...

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

Researchers have synthesised a triple bond between carbon and boron for the first time. This discovery could help chemists better understand chemical bonds and inspire other researchers to synthesise ...

discrete spectral lines of light emitted by atoms of different elements. Shortly after Rutherford’s discovery of the nucleus, the Danish physicist Niels Bohr began to attack this problem using ...

Scientists have found a way to store hundreds of terabytes of data onto a tiny crystal, with plans to scale this up to a disc ...
