Peter Bender, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics and Applied Physics, University of Massachusetts Lowell will give a talk on “Seeing the Invisible: High-Resolution γ-Ray Spectroscopy of Rare ...

Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and sometimes these atoms are slightly heavier than usual. These heavier forms are ...

The past October marked an exciting time for those in the field of isotopic science. Two brand new approaches to isolate and enrich light elements have been reported. Although a variety of elements ...

Researchers have created three never-before-observed isotopes of magnesium and aluminum. The results not only stake out new territory on the nuclear landscape, but also suggest that variants of ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams will be the first to produce and analyse hundreds of isotopes crucial to physics. One of nuclear physicists’ top wishes is about to come true. After a decades-long ...

Kyle Leach, Associate Professor, Departments of Physics, Nuclear Engineering, and Quantum Engineering, Colorado School of Mines with give a talk on “Hunting for Ghosts using Rare-Isotope Doped ...

Physicists are on the hunt for dark forces. These forces are not as ominous as they sound: “dark” simply refers to the fact that no one has observed them before. In this case, they would act between ...
