A research team linked nearby stellar explosions to at least one, possibly two, mass die-offs after calculating the supernova ...

The trailblazing Harvard scientist, who documented the dominance of hydrogen and helium in stars, is still inspiring ...

Using TRIUMF’s advanced radioactive ion beam technology, the team accelerated short-lived strontium-94 isotopes into these targets, allowing them to measure the nuclear reaction under conditions ...

Violent supernovas may have caused two of Earth’s largest mass extinctions that have never been completely explained, according to a theory put forward in new research.During the final stages of ...

We are now in the middle of the second wave of quantum capabilities, which heralds quantum computing, enhanced sensing ...

Atomic nuclei with “magic numbers” of protons or neutrons in their nuclear shells are extremely stable. Nuclear physicists ...

“It’s a lot more feasible to think that this could be an effect that could affect extinction events,” said Wright, a lecturer in physics and astrophysics and Ernest Rutherford Fellow at ...

Further research by scientists like Ernest Rutherford categorized radioactive emissions into alpha, beta, and gamma rays, leading to the understanding of radioactive decay and the concept of half ...
