Artificial intelligence and machine learning are shaping major design and research decisions for the planned Electron-Ion ...

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 ...

Dark matter particles could be mediators of the interaction between electrons and atomic nuclei, as shown by a study ...

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 ...

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 ...

The nucleus of an atom is now the modern version of sand flowing through an hourglass. Researchers have spent 15 years trying to increase accuracy in timekeeping. The U.S. standard currently relies on ...

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 ...

The IOP is the professional body and learned society for physics in the UK and Ireland. Representing 21,000 members, it ...

After winning a Breakthrough Prize, the world’s most lucrative science award, theoretical physicist David Gross is using the moment to warn of nuclear war’s existential threat—and how we can escape it ...

An accidental discovery in 1896 by Henri Becquerel, involving fogged photographic plates exposed to uranium salts, unveiled ...

This blurring of traditional boundaries between nuclear medicine and radiation oncology creates both opportunities and ...

Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.
