The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208 (²⁰⁸Pb), the heaviest known "doubly magic" nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

An artificial intelligence that can predict how a piece of glass responds to heat and pressure could one day also be used to model traffic flow. While most solid materials have a regular atomic ...

Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton's inner structure to improve calculations of a phenomenon in atomic physics known as the ...

Atomic nuclei are often described as orderly systems. Certain numbers of protons or neutrons, called magic numbers, usually produce especially stable and spherical nuclei. These numbers fill entire ...

In materials science, particularly in the study of glasses, the intermediate range order (IRO) is one of the most intriguing research areas owing to its significant influence over the physical ...
