A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, ...

Patna: Senior scientist of the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) at Geneva, Archana Sharma, speaking at the ...

Some atoms are stable, while others seem to fall apart. Lead-208 will probably last forever, while the synthetic isotope technetium-99 exists for just hours. The difference lies in the structure of ...

Separated by an ocean and more than a decade, innovative experiments with 31 tin isotopes having either a surplus or shortage ...

As America’s energy demands grow exponentially, the country won’t be able to keep up without more nuclear power. For decades, the climate-friendly industry has been held back by overly burdensome ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Scientists in the US have developed a new glowing surrogate nuclear reactor that replaces ...

Most nuclear energy is thermal. All that complex nuclear physics and chemistry serve merely to create steam that spins a turbine, the same as any combustion-based power plant does. But what if you ...

The history of science is never neutral. How Ukrainian identity in physics was erased over decades and why the «Soviet school» is not the same as the «Russian school.» We are bringing the names of ...

If plans by the UK’s science funding body go ahead, we won’t be able to benefit from Britain’s membership of Cern and other large international projects, says Jon Butterworth, professor of physics at ...
