For more than half a decade, the Majorana Collaboration, a large consortium of researchers from different universities worldwide, have been trying to observe neutrinoless double-beta decay, one of the ...

A team of Italian researchers has uncovered compelling evidence of anomalous radioactive decay in cobalt-57 (Co-57) under ultrasonic stimulation, offering strong experimental support for the Deformed ...

Planning and Carrying Out Investigations: Designing experiments to measure radioactive decay and the effects of radiation. (Example: Conducting experiments to observe how distance and shielding ...

For the first time, Northwestern University physicists have coaxed a single positron—the antimatter counterpart of an electron—into an exquisitely controlled quantum state.

Two decades in the making, a new flagship facility for nuclear physics opened on May 2, and scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have a hand in 10 of its first 34 ...

Researchers have developed a fabrication process for copper-polyimide flexible cables that cuts radioactive contamination to ...

In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. This is a rare process that entails ...

Dr Schwingenheuer explores how the search for neutrinoless double beta decay could reveal whether neutrinos are their own ...

New density-functional-theory calculations describe the radioactive decay of tritium bound to graphene, offering a way to model experiments that could open cleaner windows onto neutrino mass. In this ...

Neutrinos are at least 600,000 times lighter than the next-lightest elementary particle—the electron—but their exact mass remains unknown. Pinning down this mass would help refine both the standard ...

Each October, the Nobel Prizes celebrate a handful of groundbreaking scientific achievements. And while many of the awarded discoveries revolutionize the field of science, some originate in ...
