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 ...

Nobel laureate Otto Hahn is credited with the discovery of nuclear fission. Fission is one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century, yet Hahn considered something else to be his best ...

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...

Shape shifter: The nucleus of the xenon atom can assume different shapes depending on the balance of internal forces at play. When two xenon atoms collide at the LHC, simulations indicate that the ...

Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful? It's time for our second to final Physics episode. So, let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of ...

Paul Stevenson receives funding from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council. He is a member of the Green Party. This year marks the 103rd anniversary of the birth of nuclear physics, when ...

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden ...

Researchers at HZDR have partnered with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, and the Institute of ...
