In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

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 ...

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

Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.

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 ...

Our account of the strong nuclear force is full of imaginative terms. Six flavors of quarks have color charges of red, green and blue, which dictate how they bind to form particles like protons and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

1 The Arts and Humanities (AH) and Social Sciences (SS) perspectives are subsets of the Breadth of Knowledge (BOK) requirements in the Core Curriculum. No more than two BOK courses can be taken with ...

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.
