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 ...

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 ...

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

Quantum computing has crossed a line that classical machines cannot easily follow, pushing simulations of matter and forces ...

Hundreds of physicists from around the world will convene to present new research at the 2025 Fall Meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Nuclear Physics. The conference will be held ...

Nuclear waste has become a kind of cultural shorthand for everything people fear about atomic power, from glowing green ...

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.
