Discovery of 257Sg and its K-isomer reveals new insights into superheavy element fission and quantum stability mechanisms.

Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that ...

A five-dimensional model has successfully predicted the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, offering new insights into ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden carried out nuclear fission reactions in 100 different types of exotic nuclei of elements like platinum, mercury, and lead in a bid to ...

Scientists have discovered an "island of asymmetric fission" in the nuclear chart where isotopes split unevenly.

Langevin approach developed by an international team of researchers, including members from Science Tokyo, accurately ...

Subtle quantum effects within atomic nuclei can dramatically affect how some nuclei break apart. By studying 100 isotopes with masses below that of lead, an international team of physicists uncovered ...

Sub-1 AMU mass determination is important for determining fission yields and neutron multiplicity, which are necessary inputs for fission models. Fission models can improve spent nuclear waste stream ...

As we’ve acquired more observations, the cosmos says, “Hey, there’s a signature here, and it can only come from fission. “ The study also indicates the possibility of heavy elements with an atomic ...
