UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits.

The Philippines is ready to use nuclear energy responsibly to address power issues hounding far-flung areas, and even in the ...

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 ...

The study of chiral nuclear physics explores the phenomenon of handedness that arises from the interplay between triaxial deformation and the angular momentum of valence nucleons. In such systems, 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 ...

Every year, companies and space agencies launch hundreds of rockets into space—and that number is set to grow dramatically ...

The horizon of international maritime transport is set for a profound transformation with China's announcement of a ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems faces a litany of challenges, from complex physics and difficult engineering to building a supply chain. But it’s also trying to solve one of the fusion industry’s biggest ...
