A newly discovered aluminium isotope rapidly self-destructs by ejecting three protons in a rare sequence — shaking up our ...

Scientists have observed a brand-new and exotic atomic nucleus: aluminium-20. Unlike anything seen before, it decays through ...

This proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), as it is known, does not produce any change in charge – the most efficient way for a redox reaction to occur.

Rocket Lab says the first launch of its Neutron rocket remains planned for 2025 after a recent research report concluded it could slip to as late as 2027.

Two physicists discovered special properties of stable atoms with 'magic numbers' of protons and neutrons 75 years ago by Artemis Spyrou and Sean Liddick, The Conversation ...

All the oxygen in your body is thanks to magic numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Key Concepts Atoms are made of extremely tiny particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, making up the nucleus. Electrons surround the ...

As Universe Today explains, matter is made up of electrons, neutrons, and protons. While electrons are already a fundamental particle, neutrons and protons contain quarks.

While the structure of the protons in the nucleus can be determined using electron scattering, neutrons have no charge, therefore they do not scatter electrons in the same way.
