Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into ...

Those pairs flew off at various angles, and scientists used nuclear physics calculations to predict the spread of those angles. If they got more of those particles than they expected, it might ...

For this nuclear clock, the scientists used ultraviolet light to excite nuclear particles in an atom of thorium-229 embedded ...

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators do not rely on chemical reactions like the batteries in your phone. Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually ...

Iran’s 60% level enriched uranium had increased to 275 kilograms, an increase of approximately one full nuclear weapon’s ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study ...

Simulations of quantum many-body systems are an important goal for nuclear and high-energy physics. Many-body problems ...

Radiation-resistant nanomaterials enhance durability in nuclear systems by mitigating damage, improving structural integrity, ...

Some accelerators — the largest ones — are used to make sub-nuclear particles collide to advance our knowledge of the universe. Some of these accelerators are also used to produce neutrons. Ion ...

We now also know that the hydrogen nucleus emitted was actually a subatomic particle, now called the proton. Prof Sean Freeman, Professor of Nuclear Physics and Head of the School of Physics & ...

Electrical forces bind the electron to the atom, but they cause nuclear particles to fly apart. The powerful cohesion of protons and neutrons must be explained by a wholly different phenomenon ...

have shown that the motion of particles in high-energy nuclear collisions can also be described as Lévy walks, confirming the interdisciplinary nature of the phenomenon. "Our simulation-based ...
