Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

As Japan takes the final steps toward restarting the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, the world’s largest nuclear ...

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 old, ...

Researchers from the High Energy Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...

Physicists have been hoping for this moment for a long time: For many years, scientists all around the world have been searching for a very specific state of thorium atomic nuclei that promises ...

The course is intended for juniors, seniors, and graduate students in engineering or physical science with no previous background in nuclear engineering. The course introduces the student to the ...
