New benchmark for theoretical modelling The charge radii obtained from muonic helium-3 and helium-4 serve as important reference values for modern ab initio theories — that is, physical models that ...

Quote of the day by the woman who changed science, Maria Goeppert Mayer: In 1963, only the second woman in history won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Maria Goeppert Mayer earned it for the nuclear shell ...

A global database of nuclear physics discoveries spanning more than a century has ranked three University of Surrey physicists among the world’s top 10 for discovering and characterising nuclear ...

Fulfilling the dream of medieval alchemists, physicists have observed the transmutation of lead into gold—through nuclear physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle ...

During a deeply inelastic collision with a proton, a relativistic electron (highlighted in blue) can emit a high-energy photon (purple here) that penetrates interior of the proton, where it ‘sees’ ...

A nuclear escalation in the Middle East would trigger a global catastrophe. Know the physics behind nuclear weapons, and the looming threat of a worldwide nuclear winter.

Nuclear decay and fusion dynamics constitute central pillars in modern nuclear physics, with implications ranging from energy production and astrophysical phenomena to the synthesis of novel elements.

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector ...

The committee will assess having an electron ion collider facility in the U.S. The committee will assess the scientific justification for a U.S. domestic electron ion collider facility, taking into ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...
