Researchers uncover key nuclear processes in the formation of gold

A team of nuclear physicists at the University of Tennessee has made significant progress in understanding how heavy elements like gold are formed during violent cosmic events. Using the rare isotope…

Discovery of an Isospin-Symmetric Island of Inversion in Molybdenum-84

Physicists have identified a surprising new ‘Island of Inversion’ in molybdenum-84, challenging long-held assumptions in nuclear physics. Traditionally, these regions, where atomic nuclei adopt highly…

FAIR-GENCO Annual Meeting 2025 and Young Scientist Award

The annual meeting of the FAIR-GSI Exotic Nuclei Community (GENCO) was held again this year at GSI/FAIR as part of the NUSTAR Annual Meeting. In a festive colloquium, the Young Scientist Award was presented to Dr. Michail Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis from the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA), University of Colorado, and three scientists received the FAIR-GENCO Membership Award. The keynote address was given by Professor Alexandra Gade from Michigan State University (MSU) and the Facility ...

Tokamak experiments exceed plasma density limit, offering new approach to fusion ignition

Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving stable operation at densities well beyond conventional limits.

AI opens a new window into the hidden world of nuclear matter — GSI/FAIR participate in identification of hypernucleus

Researchers from the High Energy Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan and their international collaborators, among them GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, have achieved a groundbreaking discovery that bridges artificial intelligence and nuclear physics. By applying deep learning techniques, the team identified, for the first time in 25 years, a new double-Lambda hypernucleus. This marks the world’s first AI-assisted observation of such an exotic nucleus — an atomic ...
