A team of researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) has discovered that cobalt-70 isotopes form different nuclear shapes when their energy levels ...

A new measurement of the exotic “atom” — consisting of an electron and its antiparticle, a positron — disagrees with theoretical calculations, scientists report in the Aug. 14 Physical Review Letters.

Two-dimensional (2D) electron systems subjected to magnetic fields form Landau levels with quantized energy. This fundamental model in modern quantum physics has given rise to various scientific ...

The goal of high energy physics (also known as particle physics) is to determine the most fundamental building blocks of matter and to understand the interactions between these particles. The ...

Using the Summing Nal Detector, a team of experimental and theoretical scientists at FRIB took another step in understanding how an atomic nucleus can have two different shapes corresponding to only ...
