The experimental results support the existence of proton halos in candidate nuclei such as phosphorus-26, 27 and sulfur-27, 28, and suggest that argon-31 may be a new double proton halo nucleus.

MANCHESTER celebrated last week, just a little prematurely, the centenary of John Dalton's atomic theory. It was on September 6, 1803, tnat he drew up in his notebook his first table of weights of ...

Indeed, he even suggests that the persistence of classical phenomena on the atomic scale could make it difficult to use phosphorus atoms as qubits. Nevertheless, Simmons remains optimistic. “Five ...

Researchers in Australia have created a single-atom transistor by planting an individual phosphorus dopant atom within a silicon sample with a spatial accuracy of plus or minus one lattice spacing.

Using the newly developed Bρ-defined isochronous mass spectroscopy technique, they determined the masses of several exotic atomic nuclei, including silicon-23, phosphorus-26, sulfur-27, and argon ...
