Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

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 ...

Enhanced nuclear application strategies "By better understanding the behavior of nuclei in these conditions, we can enhance our approaches to nuclear energy production and radiation therapy," stated J ...

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 ...

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 ...

The study suggests a small inspector satellite could fly alongside a suspect craft and detect nukes. The post MIT scientist ...

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 ...

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 ...

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