Barns & Neutrons

Where does everything come from?

A cozy exploration of the real Table of Nuclides, where every discovery is physics, and we show our work.

We show our work

Every claim cites a source

When reality and a cuter story compete, reality wins, and then we make reality beautiful. Every number, animation, and discovery reflects how the nucleus actually behaves, and we show you the source. The data comes from public references like NIST and IAEA, and from the classic papers. We do our best to keep it honest, we cite our sources, and we welcome your feedback.

Open content

Puzzles and Compendium entries draw on classic papers and public data. The data is open.

A quiet expedition across the chart

Explore the real Table of Nuclides, one discovery at a time. Each nuclide is a small, true story about where the elements come from.
