Nuclear fusion has long been the energy world’s moonshot, a reaction so powerful and so difficult to tame that many ...

A revolutionary achievement could pave the way for smaller, more efficient nuclear clocks. Last year, a research team led by UCLA achieved a milestone scientists had pursued for half a century. They s ...

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 ...

Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful? It's time for our second to final Physics episode. So, let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of ...

Nuclear physics is a mature science with strong connections to both fundamental physics and nuclear astrophysics, namely the origin of the chemical elements 1,2. Nuclear physics is over 100 years old, ...

Popular YouTube channel CrashCourse gives us an overview of nuclear physics. The host, Shini, discusses the fundamental aspects of physics with an array of interactive graphics. The video explains the ...

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 ...

Paul Stevenson receives funding from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council. He is a member of the Green Party. This year marks the 103rd anniversary of the birth of nuclear physics, when ...

In 2008, a team of UCLA-led scientists proposed a scheme to use a laser to excite the nucleus of thorium atoms to realize extremely accurate, portable clocks. Last year, they realized this ...
