Using the Frontier supercomputer, researchers have cracked a major challenge in nuclear physics: accurately predicting ...

Researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that holds it together. This ...

The research also predicts that the atomic nucleus neon-30 exhibits several coexisting shapes. "This discovery is incredibly important for understanding the stability limits of visible matter and ...

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a new method for predicting nuclear structures using the Frontier supercomputer.

Results revealed that a rare nucleus known as 30-neon has both round and deformed shapes that coexist. By performing millions of computations, the team learned how the “strong nuclear force ...
