Dear followers and visitors,

after a long shutdown that lasted approximately 8 months both the nuclear EM moments site and the associate blog are back online. In fact, the blog never ceased to exist; I just left it unattended for a while until a new version of the database is complete. I know that several people got disappointed the DB was offline and I truly feel bad about that. But trust me, I could not do it in some other, equally efficient, way.

So what has happened in the meantime? Lots of exciting things. First of the EM moments database is back online with all data up to 2014 – or so I claim. Most importantly, the database was adopted by the Nuclear Data Section at IAEA (http://www-nds.iaea.org), integrated in their fantastic Livechart. The upgrade of the DB to meet IAEA’s requirements and standards took a rather long time and had to go through several phases before its completion. This means that data you can search in this site will also be found in Livechart.

Another update with new data (year 2014 and afterwards) is in the works and will show up online some time in November, so stay tuned.

Also, a nice surprise to all users is being planned for 2016, but I will come back to that when time comes.

So, please enjoy and use the data in the nuclear EM moments DB freely. Commitment to serve the scientific community has always played a central role in the development and will stay intact in the years to come. Spread the word: the Moments Are Back!
