Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...
A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest ...
Physicists working with molybdenum-84, a nucleus containing exactly 42 protons and 42 neutrons, have found that this seemingly balanced atom defies one of nuclear physics’ longest-standing ...
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 ...
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 ...
Early-career physicist Natasha Khan talks about her route to becoming a nuclear safety engineer – a journey that includes job rejections, the charity sector and nuclear awards ...
Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...
The 1998 sci-fi classic Armageddon might not have a reputation as a scientifically accurate film. But scientists now say the Hollywood blockbuster got one thing right – we really could nuke an ...
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 ...
