For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum ...

Andhra University hosts national workshop on computer interfaced physics experiments with 140 participants, including faculty, scholars, and students.

Small, transportable and mass-produced “microreactors” are seen as part of the future of nuclear power. And it's underway in ...

James Corson is currently a two-day champion on Jeopardy! He competed against Harvey Silikovitz, who garnered social media attention for being a worldwide karaoke singer. He faced off against two new ...

Researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that holds it together. This ...

The state is aggressively pushing to deploy the next generation of atomic energy that would power big industrial operations.

When nuclear engineer James Corson got a call saying he would appear on “Jeopardy!” 12 years after first applying, it was a “dream come true,” he said. Corson, who has lived in Frederick for about 15 ...

Nuclear physics is the study of the protons and neutrons at the centre of an atom and the interactions that hold them together in a space just a few femtometres (10-15 metres) across. Example ...

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a new method for predicting nuclear structures using the Frontier supercomputer.

Because their internal conditions are impossible to replicate on Earth, studying them could reveal fundamental insights into nuclear physics. New research led by scientists at the University of ...
