Nuclear physics is a mature science with strong connections to both fundamental physics and nuclear astrophysics, namely the origin of the chemical elements 1,2. Nuclear physics is over 100 years ...

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 ...

It took another 15 years of discoveries in nuclear physics to be able to explain Hahn’s observations. We are two professors of nuclear physics who study rare nuclei including nuclear isomers.

Each day of war risks a strike on sites that could scatter radioactive material. Officials say one laboratory near the front ...

How matter’s hidden complexity unleashed the power of nuclear physics In the last century, physicists have revealed a complex world of fundamental particles ...

First came the idea of splitting the atom; then, a chain of events leading to a moment forever etched in collective memory—the use of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

Physicists propose new solution to the neutron lifetime puzzle Moreover, this technique could enhance our understanding of the quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter not only produced in high-energy ...

The course introduces the student to the physics and engineering of nuclear power reactor cores. Topics included are nuclear reactions, neutron chain reactions, criticality and reactor kinetics, ...

Breakthrough in nuclear physics High-precision measurements of the strong interaction between stable and unstable particles Date: December 9, 2020 Source: Technical University of Munich (TUM ...

The theoretical view of the structure of the atom nucleus is not carved in stone. Particularly, nuclear physics research could benefit from approaches found in other fields of physics.

By tweaking the energy of a thorium nucleus with a laser, scientists demonstrated a key step to building clocks based on the physics of atomic nuclei.

It’s not just about weapons, nuclear science has changed practically everything around us – for the better.
