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 ...

This book is a revised and updated version of the most comprehensive text on nuclear and subnuclear physics, first published in 1995. It maintains the original goal of providing a clear, logical, ...

In a bid to revolutionize fields such as clean energy research, environmental monitoring, and medicine, the staff and ...

Nuclear fission – the physical process by which very large atoms like uranium split into pairs of smaller atoms – is what makes nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants possible. But for many years, ...

A newly developed framework for quantifying uncertainties enhances the predictive power of analog quantum simulations.

Top minds at the world's largest atom smasher have released a blueprint for a much bigger successor that could vastly improve ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. A team at the UQ School of Mathematics and Physics has ...

Claudia Ratti, M.D. Anderson professor of physics with the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Houston, is illuminating the mysteries of nuclear physics through ...

SGS co-founder Frank von Hippel returned to campus Tuesday for a 50th anniversary event and book discussion about his new ...

Hydroacoustic signals captured by the world’s international nuclear monitoring system suggest an underwater landslide may ...

The two most important developments in nuclear physics were the shell model and the collective model. The former gives the formal framework for a description of nuclei in terms of interacting neutrons ...
