My first encounter with one of the devices was about six decades ago (and only three decades after its improvement as an ...

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, ...

Separated by an ocean and more than a decade, innovative experiments with 31 tin isotopes having either a surplus or shortage ...

Active Target Time Projection Chambers (AT-TPCs) have revolutionised experimental nuclear physics by integrating the target material with the detection medium, thereby enhancing sensitivity for ...

Nuclear waste becomes clean energy as Jefferson Lab's particle accelerators reduce storage time by 99.7% while generating electricity for the grid.

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

The study of chiral nuclear physics explores the phenomenon of handedness that arises from the interplay between triaxial deformation and the angular momentum of valence nucleons. In such systems, the ...

Scientists in Paris discovered two new substances with incredible radioactivity. It earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics but would ultimately kill one of them. When you purchase through links on our ...
