A new nuclear 'island' where magic numbers break down

For decades, nuclear physicists believed that "Islands of Inversion"—regions where the normal rules of nuclear structure ...

Probing the existence of a fifth force via neutron star cooling

Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of ...

Time domain measurement of electron spin relaxation at high fields and dynamic nuclear polarization at sub-millimeter wavelengths

Abstract: We describe a 395 GHz pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) setup, and initial results of relaxation measurements and cw EPR at these frequencies in samples used for liquid- and solid ...
