Nuclear waste becomes clean energy as Jefferson Lab's particle accelerators reduce storage time by 99.7% while generating ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...

The Museum of Nuclear Science & History has appointed six new board members. Their diverse expertise positions the ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers every star in the observable universe, has moved from theoretical physics into the realm of real laboratory results. On December 5, 2022, scientists achieved ...

Are you ready to be part of the next wave of energy innovators? The nuclear energy science certificate at the University of Wyoming offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into one of the most ...

The two solid lines display the proton dripline (brown) and the neutron dripline (blue) calculated using the microscopic-macroscopic mass model FRDM12. Ten display options for nuclear properties are ...

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 ...

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 ...

Science News has been covering nuclear physics since our earliest incarnation, starting with scientists’ effort to decode the secrets of the atom. In the 1930s, readers learned about the discovery of ...

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 ...

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 ...
