Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

Observations of the formation of light-nuclei from high-energy collisions may help in the hunt for dark matter.

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 ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

The nucleus of an atom is now the modern version of sand flowing through an hourglass. Researchers have spent 15 years trying to increase accuracy in timekeeping. The U.S. standard currently relies on ...

Atomic clocks are the most accurate timekeepers we have, losing only seconds across billions of years. But apparently that’s not accurate enough – nuclear clocks could steal their thunder, speeding up ...

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.-- Quantum information represents one of the Army’s most promising science and technology investments for the future. Several technologies in this field, ranging from ...

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

Rosatom and Kazakhstan’s Institute of Nuclear Physics have signed an MoU to develop a multi‑purpose research reactor and lab ...
