No energy technology has been more revolutionary than nuclear power.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Instead of smashing particles together at high speeds, Craik’s team is using atomic physics to look for tiny clues that might suggest this new force exists. “As atomic physicists, we can ...

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 ...
