Scientists have reached a significant milestone in nuclear physics with the direct observation of three distinct deformations ...

Nuclear physics is a branch of physics that studies atomic nuclei, their constituents, and the interactions that govern their behavior. This field plays a crucial role in understanding fundamental ...

To celebrate, we have published a bumper crop of articles on particle and nuclear physics in 2024. Many focus on people and my favourite articles have definitely skewed in that direction. So let’s ...

These well-regarded universities have shown strength in producing research in a wide range of topics related to physics – the study of matter and energy. Topics include particle and nuclear ...

Mehen, 54, died Dec. 29 at his home in Chapel Hill. He is remembered as a "brilliant theoretical physicist" and a "great ...

Those eagerly awaiting the promise of nuclear fusion were dealt a bad hand in 2024 when the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), designed to be the world’s biggest and baddest ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This ...

Collective models in nuclear physics provide a framework for understanding the behavior of atomic nuclei, particularly in terms of their shapes and excitations. These models are essential for ...

A small town mayor in New Zealand has picked a nuclear fight with Donald Trump, after the freshly sworn-in US president ...

Nuclear physics research is focused on understanding the matter composed of quarks and gluons, which makes up 99% of the mass of the universe. Most of this matter is found at the core of atoms, the ...

The unexpected discovery of the double-charm tetraquark has given physicists a new tool with which to hone their understanding of the strongest of nature’s fundamental forces. The Quanta Newsletter ...
