Researchers at CERN have made a great step forward in revealing how atomic nuclei behave after they mapped the edge of a ...

No energy technology has been more revolutionary than nuclear power.

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.

New standards in nuclear physics An international research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI has measured the radius of the nucleus of muonic helium-3 with unprecedented precision.

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel ...

After more than 30 years, physicists in Finland have uncovered the heaviest nucleus ever seen to emit a proton, a rare ...

A 1989 experiment offered the promise of nuclear fusion without the need for high temperatures, but this "cold fusion" was ...

A relatively small detector caught neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a technique known as coherent scattering ...

Radioactive decay is a fundamental process in nature by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. Studying nuclear decay modes is crucial for understanding properties of atomic ...

A team of Dutch scientists at the FOM Institute for Molecular and Atomic Physics (AMOLF) in Amsterdam built a new kind of robot that can run, go over obstacles, and even swim, all driven only by ...
