Scientists have produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment. The experiment presents a new method for investigating light, neutron-rich nuclei and ...

The A1 Collaboration at the Institute of Nuclear Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), together with scientists from China and Japan, has for the first time successfully produced one ...

Tokyo, Japan – Although it is the smallest and lightest atom, hydrogen can have a big impact by infiltrating other materials and affecting their properties, such as superconductivity and ...

Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen, which, unlike “normal” hydrogen atoms, or protium, also contains a neutron. The isotope deuterium has one proton, one neutron and one electron. One out of ...

Production and measurement of the extremely neutron-rich hydrogen isotope 6 H achieved for the first time in an electron scattering experiment / Result shows stronger than expected interaction between ...
