The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay could have important implications for the study of matter and antimatter. In fact, it would confirm that neutrinos and their antiparticles (i.e ...

New experiments on thallium decay have helped determine the Sun formed over 10–20 million years, improving stellar nucleosynthesis models. Have you ever wondered how long it took our Sun to form in ...

Neutrinos are among the most enigmatic particles in the universe. They are omnipresent yet interact extremely rarely with ...

Particle-accelerator study focuses on the r-process thought to be responsible for forming elements heavier than iron ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects ...

To achieve this, the AMoRE collaboration tried to observe neutrinoless double beta decay using molybdenum-100 (100 Mo), a radioactive isotope of molybdenum with an atomic number of 42 and a mass ...

The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after a two-year search, imposing stringent limits on this mysterious, ...

Neutrinos, the mysterious and nearly massless particles that barely interact with anything, are revealing new secrets through the KATRIN experiment. Using tritium decay and advanced spectrometry, ...

Ryan Amberger is headed to Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he will spend the next year studying nuclear astrophysics — specifically, the process behind the creation of half of the elements ...
