Double beta decay research represents a pivotal field at the intersection of nuclear physics and particle physics, probing the fundamental nature of neutrinos and their role in the matter–antimatter ...

Double beta decay, one of the rarest nuclear processes, offers a unique portal into the fundamental properties of neutrinos and the conservation of lepton number. Experimental strategies have evolved ...

An elongation versus departure from axial symmetry (triaxiality) plot showing distinctive differences in the shapes of the parent (germanium-76, “rigid”) and daughter (selenium-76, “soft”) nuclei for ...

Transmuting one element into another (usually gold, of course) was the stuff of fevered dreams and fanciful imaginations for alchemists way back in the day. It turns out that nature does it all the ...

Researchers have developed a new approach to model a yet-unconfirmed rare nuclear process. The binary code (1, 0) on the particles in the graphic symbolizes the computer simulations which will be ...

IonQ Inc. (NYSE:IONQ) is one of the best AI stocks to buy according to hedge funds. On June 25, IonQ made headlines with a significant breakthrough in fundamental physics by achieving the first known ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Our Universe is old: 13.8 billion years old, to be precise. Many of the ...

Sheltered underneath nearly a mile of rock in Abruzzo, Italy, scientists are hard at work unraveling the secrets of the universe's smallest bits of matter. When a radioactive process called beta decay ...

Deep under a mountain in Italy, researchers continue to push the boundaries of science with an experiment that could rewrite the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Standard “double beta decay” is ...

Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons ...
