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 geometry of space, the setting in which physical laws operate, may hold clues to some of the biggest unanswered questions in fundamental physics. The underlying structure of spacetime itself could ...

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 ...

Texas A&M physics graduate student Ryan Amberger getting hands-on experience in the art and science of making targets at Argonne National Laboratory. Ryan Amberger, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department ...

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 ...

China has reportedly achieved the world’s first successful thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion in an operational molten salt ...

The $330m Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) has released its first results following the completion of the huge underground facility in August. JUNO is located in Kaiping City, ...

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

A patient undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedure will be exposed to many potential risks (probability of harm) besides exposure to ionizing radiation. Each risk deserves due consideration.
