Researchers say they are alarmed by reports that the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the largest U.S. funder of the ...

In April 1989 the Soviet Navy’s nuclear submarine Komsomolets caught fire while cruising 335 m beneath the surface of the ...

Nuclear isomers are crucial probes for studying the structure of nuclei. Unlike chemical isomers—which have the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms—nuclear isomers are nuclei ...

Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy ...

Nuclear physics is a research area focused on the structure, dynamics, and interactions of atomic nuclei and their constituent nucleons, governed primarily by the strong and weak nuclear forces within ...

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 ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number of protons equals the number of neutrons. For decades, these strange regions ...

From an image of a detector hunting for signs of dark matter to a picture of a deep-sea neutrino telescope studying ...

Renowned techno artist Carl Craig is working with scientists to make nuclear concepts accessible art in a new installation.

Kazakhstan’s KAEA has set a roadmap to 2050 for a national nuclear cluster, with the Balkhash NPP as the first project.
