Precision spectroscopy of helium and related atomic systems continues to serve as a cornerstone of experimental and theoretical quantum physics, offering stringent tests of quantum electrodynamics and ...

For the first time, researchers from the PRISMA + Cluster of Excellence have determined the charge radius of helium-3 and thus also the exact difference to the radius of helium-4. This precision ...

Helium-3 is the lighter cousin of ordinary helium, helium-4. Its atomic nucleus has two protons and two neutrons (hence the 4 after the abbreviation for the element); in helium-3, one of the neutrons ...
