Scientists have acquired direct evidence of rare, pulsing pear-shaped structures within atomic nuclei of the rare-earth element Gadolinium, thanks to new research.

WA Premier Roger Cook promise to cut vanadium royalties in half State gov recently committed to $150 vanadium battery project in Kalgoorlie WA players such as Australian Vanadium could be poised to ...

China could reestablish import controls on coal, after leading industry groups warned on mounting oversupply in the world’s biggest market for the fuel, according to Morgan Stanley. The bank ...

On Earth, helium comes in two stable isotopes. By far the most common is helium-4, with a nucleus containing two protons and two neutrons. Helium-4 accounts for around 99.99986 percent of all the ...

Owing to the NDC’s chemical structure, which causes specific adsorptive interactions, the reaction mechanism resembles that of noble metals, where protons reduced in the Volmer step recombine with ...

Doubly magic refers to nuclei that have complete shells of both protons (82) and neutrons (126), a configuration that should theoretically favor a perfectly spherical shape. The spectroscopic ...

Our planet’s core is made mostly of iron, but it might also contain primordial helium that formed just after the Big Bang. Helium normally has trouble bonding with other elements, but ...

The key to this improvement lies in vanadium, a rare metal known for its ability to exist in multiple stable states. This characteristic allows vanadium to store and release energy more effectively, ...

US-focused Liberty Gold has reached key permitting milestones for its flagship Black Pine oxide gold project in Idaho, with the submission of the draft mine plan of operations (MPO) and the ...

Protons sit in the nuclei of all atoms, but they are not fundamental particles: They are made of three quarks held together by the strong nuclear force. The strength of this interaction is ...

First up, what is heavy water? Elements are defined by the number of protons in their nucleus, with hydrogen having one, helium having two, and uranium having 92 protons, for example. The number ...

Stanford University chemists have developed a practical and affordable way to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to combat global warming. Their new process uses heat to ...
