University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. A team at the UQ School of Mathematics and Physics has ...

The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...

Nuclear physics investigates the properties, structure and reactions of atomic nuclei, the dense assemblies of protons and neutrons bound by the strong nuclear force. Central themes include the ...

In two separate papers published in Physical Review Letters, researchers investigated the nuclear reactions that take place ...

David J. Gross, a celebrated U.S. theoretical physicist, calls himself an optimist—especially concerning the future of his field. He’s certain that somewhere out there lurks a final, unified theory of ...

Our account of the strong nuclear force is full of imaginative terms. Six flavors of quarks have color charges of red, green and blue, which dictate how they bind to form particles like protons and ...

Are you ready to be part of the next wave of energy innovators? The nuclear energy science certificate at the University of Wyoming offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into one of the most ...

Fort Bragg is among five installations that have been selected by the US Army to host nuclear microreactors as part of the ...
