A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

Scientists have discovered a fern from South China that naturally forms tiny crystals containing rare earth elements (REEs).

A coronal mass ejection from a distant star has been confirmed for the first time, raising questions about how such events ...

Texas A&M scientists have unlocked new potential for astatine-211, a rare and short-lived element, as a highly precise cancer-fighting isotope. Its alpha emissions destroy tumor cells while sparing ...

This fern was already known to be a hyperaccumulator, able to thrive in REE-rich soils in southern China by absorbing the metals. The researchers from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry wanted to ...

In a small blow to the search for extraterrestrial life, a nearby star shot out a strong enough coronal mass ejection to ...
