The production of transuranium isotopes has been demonstrated at the Isotope Separation and ACceleration (ISAC) facility. In particular a laser-ionized $^{239}$Pu beam, extracted from a uranium carbide target, was investigated. The…
We briefly review the study of the exotic atoms and exotic nuclei, and report recent research activities of eta-mesic nucleus and kaonic atoms in this article.
This paper reports 209 O-type stars found with LAMOST. All 135 new O-type stars discovered so far with LAMOST so far are given. Among them, 94 stars are firstly presented in this sample. There are 1 Iafpe star, 5 Onfp stars, 12 Oe stars, 1…
A topical overview on the state of the art and science of superconducting materials is presented. The relation of atomic structure and suggested superconductivity mechanisms as well as possible applications are discussed for the various…
We are still far from understanding how pulsars pulse, how neutron stars are born, what neutron stars can emit, and in which way they do this. In this short communication, I list 18 alternatives -- several of them old, a few of them new --…
Rare isotopes are most often studied through nuclear reactions. Nuclear reactions can be used to obtain detailed structure information but also in connection to astrophysics to determine specific capture rates. In order to extract the…
More than 130 pure rotational transitions of $^{46}$TiO, $^{47}$TiO, $^{48}$TiO, $^{49}$TiO, $^{50}$TiO, and $^{48}$Ti$^{18}$O are recorded using a high-resolution mm-wave supersonic jet spectrometer in combination with a laser ablation…
We report on the design, installation, and test of an experimental facility for the production of ultra-cold atomic isotopes and isomers of cesium. The setup covers a broad span of mass numbers and nuclear isomers, allowing one to directly…
IceCube has observed neutrinos above 100 TeV at a level significantly above the steeply falling background of atmospheric neutrinos. The astrophysical signal is seen both in the high-energy starting event analysis from the whole sky and as…
A review of the inverse scattering transform is given, and an introduction to solitons is provided.
We study the synthesis of lithium isotopes in the hot tori formed around stellar mass black holes by accretion of the companion star. We find that sizable amounts of both stable isotopes 6Li and 7Li can be produced, the exact figures…
Proof-of-principle experiments have demonstrated an electrostatic field evaporation based deuterium ion source for use in compact, high-output deuterium-tritium neutron generators. The ion source produces principally atomic deuterium and…
Nuclear reactions leading to formation of new superheavy elements and isotopes are discussed in the paper. ``Cold'' and ``hot'' synthesis, fusion of fission fragments, transfer reactions and reactions with radioactive ion beams are analyzed…
What can we discover? As the discussion in this paper is limited to ontological considerations, it does not deal with the discovery of new concepts. It raises the following question: What are the entities or existents that we can discover?…
As an exoplanet transits its host star, some of the light from the star is absorbed by the atoms and molecules in the planet's atmosphere, causing the planet to seem bigger; plotting the planet's observed size as a function of the…
Current models of Titan ionosphere have difficulties in explaining the observed electron density and/or temperature. In order to get new insights, we re-analyzed the data taken in the ionosphere of Titan by the Cassini Langmuir probe (LP),…
Technetium, element 43, is the only radioactive transition metal. It occurs naturally on earth in only trace amounts. Experimental investigation of its possible compounds is thus inherently difficult and limited. Half of the…
Tellurium atomic helices are currently attracting increasing attention. However, to date individual tellurium atomic helices have only been grown encapsulated in host materials. A bare free-standing tellurium atomic helix has yet to be…
Recent progress on the bottomonium states is reported. This talk briefly reviews the observation of $h_b(1P), h_b(2P), Z_{b1}^+, Z_{b2}^+$ states, transition of $h_b(nP)\to \eta_b(mS)\gamma$ and new studies on the $\eta_b(2S)$ state. Other…
In this short note we would like to provide some useful remarks on our previous work about the piezonuclear decay of Thorium and in general about the methods and protocols that we used in the experiments on piezonuclear reactions. The…
