Proton beams are not only used in sophisticated nuclear physics experiments. Today, they are becoming increasingly popular in ...

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 ...

After winning a Breakthrough Prize, the world’s most lucrative science award, theoretical physicist David Gross is using the ...

Scientists at the University of Maryland have successfully demonstrated the control of the nuclear ...

The nucleus of an atom is now the modern version of sand flowing through an hourglass. Researchers have spent 15 years trying to increase accuracy in timekeeping. The U.S. standard currently relies on ...

Are you ready to be part of the next wave of energy innovators? The nuclear energy science certificate at the University of Wyoming offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into one of the most ...

Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.

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 ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the universe. Understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus is crucial for ...
