A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

A simulation of a rapidly accreting white dwarf showing a proposed site for the intermediate (i) process and the Summing NaI (SuN) detector. The research studied the 139Ba+n reaction, constrained by ...

Separated by an ocean and more than a decade, innovative experiments with 31 tin isotopes having either a surplus or shortage ...

More than 40 researchers from international institutes collaborated to develop and implement a method that enables measurements with unprecedented precision. This sets new standards for theories and ...

In a modest workshop space in West Dallas, a seventh-grade student has achieved a result usually associated with university ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers every star in the observable universe, has moved from theoretical physics into the realm of real laboratory results. On December 5, 2022, scientists achieved ...

AMES, Iowa – John Lajoie, surrounded in his office by Star Trek posters and a few space hero action figures, recently made the case for nuclear physics research and the multi-million-dollar ...

Target preparation techniques are fundamental to nuclear physics experiments as they provide the essential interface where high-energy reactions occur. Researchers employ a range of fabrication ...

Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $10 million for interdisciplinary research in Quantum Information Science (QIS) and nuclear physics. The aim of this funding is to draw on the ...

On an October morning in 2023, a chemical explosion detonated in a tunnel under the Nevada desert was the launch of the next set of experiments by the National Nuclear Security Administration, with ...

The heaviest version of oxygen ever created falls apart mysteriously quickly. This finding implies a problem with our understanding of a fundamental force of nature. Yosuke Kondo at the Tokyo ...
