Neutron starsThe ultimate goal of studying isospin physics via heavy-ion reactions with neutron-rich, stable and/or radioactive nuclei is to explore the isospin dependence of in-medium nuclear effective interactions and the equation of state of neutron-rich nuclear matter, particularly the isospin...
A new NASA study shows Earth's climate likely will continue to warm during this century on track with previous estimates, despite the recent slowdown in the rate of global warming. This research hinges on a new and more detailed calculation of the sensitivity of Earth's climate to the factors...
We also show that two neutron stars in a binary have to be within 4% of each other in mass, for neutron stars sufficiently massive that they escape helium shell burning. For those that are so light that they do have helium shell burning, after a small correction for this, they must be...
A 2012 study published in Astronomy and Astrophysics found that exploding small stars produce silver and large stars. When Europeans arrived in the New World in 1492, silver was abundant on Earth. Spanish invaders have enthusiastically drawn this wealth by discovering that South America has silver-...
Even though clinical evidence demonstrating the benefit of protons over photons is still limited, according to the data published by the Proton Therapy Co-Operative Group (https://www.ptcog.ch/index.php/facilities-in-operation-restricted, accessed on 31 December 2022), particle therapy treatment is...
This put in evidence the main limits of a system based on fossil fuels, that are limited on our planet and whose combustion is at the bases of major air pollution and of the green-house effect mostly due to CO2 intense emissions. The predicted effects of the latter are dramatic, as ...
