He explained how the results match decades-old predictions that tellurium-104 is a special case in alpha decay, a process where an alpha particle (a strongly bound system of two protons and two ...

Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons ...

In contrast to classical physics, multi-particle decay is a phenomenon unique to the quantum world. Magnesium-18 exemplifies such an exotic system, positioned far from the dripline. Spitting out ...

The process: The study focuses on a radiation-induced process by which weakly bound matter can fall apart, the so-called electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD). Given predictions that it efficiently ...
