Nuclear weapons tests are among the most violent events humans can trigger, and that violence leaves fingerprints in the Earth, sea, air, and even in orbit. The physics of shock waves, sound, and ...

David 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 ...

The University of Liverpool has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mirion Technologies to expand collaboration in nuclear science, radiation protection and related strategic technologies.

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 ...

Nuclear physics is a research area focused on the structure, dynamics, and interactions of atomic nuclei and their constituent nucleons, governed primarily by the strong and weak nuclear forces within ...

Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Actionable insights into research ...

The following is a summary of a story that originally appeared on the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences website. When the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) opened its doors 60 years ago ...

Quantum computers have the potential to transform science, accelerating breakthroughs in drug development, cosmology, ...

Nuclear effect The deformed shape of the ytterbium-173 nucleus (right) makes it possible to excite the clock transition with a relatively low-power laser. The same transition is forbidden (left) if ...

A young American teenager, Taylor Wilson, achieved a remarkable feat by constructing a nuclear fusion reactor. He began this ambitious project in his family's garage at a very young age. His work ...
