The study is part of Kokkonen's doctoral thesis and a direct scientific follow-up to her master's thesis, in which she discovered a new type of atomic nucleus, the 190-astatine.

From founding the scientific discipline of nuclear physics to his love for sports cars, here are some facts to know about Ernest Rutherford. Updated: Jun 02, 2025 04:39 AM EST ...

Scientists at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, discover a new trans-Neptune Object, 2017OF201, potentially discrediting 2016 theory of Planet Nine.

Ever since physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus in 1911, studying its structure and behavior has ...

Ever since physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus in 1911, studying its structure and behavior has remained a challenging task. More than a century later, even with today's high ...

Last week U. S. chemists and physicists girded up their loins for war on their British colleagues. A U. S. discoverer’s right to name his own discovery had been challenged from abroad ...

Decades later, Rutherford’s protegees would discover that the nucleus is made up of particles like protons and neutrons. This 1911 discovery redefined atomic structure and, therefore, atomic ...

Lord Rutherford was for calling the atom “diplogen” and its nucleus the “diplon,” and a number of British scientists seemed willing to follow his lead, despite a polite but barbed letter ...

Following the discovery of the proton, physicists speculated that other particles might also exist within the atomic nucleus. In 1932, Chadwick was intrigued by the work of Marie Curie's daughter, ...

From this, Rutherford proposed a revolutionary new model of the atom. He suggested that the atom consists of a tiny, dense nucleus, surrounded by electrons. This “Rutherford model” would form the ...
