Spread the loveThe world of nuclear physics is constantly evolving, with new findings that challenge long-held beliefs about atomic structure and behavior. Recently, a collaborative effort from an ...

A joint research team has made important progress in the field of photoneutron cross section measurement. The team proposed a substitution measurement method that avoids the use of expensive and ...

A team of scientists has made significant progress in the ongoing quest to create new, long-lasting superheavy nuclei. These double magic nuclei, characterized by a precise number of protons and ...

Photonuclear reactions occur when high-energy photons interact with atomic nuclei, resulting in the ejection of one or more nucleons or the emission of other subatomic particles. These reactions serve ...

Nucleons, comprising protons and neutrons, are not elementary particles but are built from quarks and gluons held together by the strong nuclear force. At typical inter-nucleon distances, effective ...

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 ...

Chemical elements, new isotopes, tiny particles — the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany, is renowned for its ...

I was very disappointed to see the editorial supporting development of new or reenergized nuclear power plants (Nov. 18, 2024, page 2). Whatever happened to concerns about safely storing ...

Nuclear weapons tests were once a regular occurrence, but most countries haven’t tested in decades, following the adoption of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996. Now, that moratorium ...

Nuclear reactions as a research area encompass the experimental and theoretical study of processes in which atomic nuclei interact and transform, including fusion, fission, scattering, and transfer ...
