Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

Physicists working with molybdenum-84, a nucleus containing exactly 42 protons and 42 neutrons, have found that this seemingly balanced atom defies one of nuclear physics’ longest-standing ...

"It is fascinating to concretely see how each new neutron-star observation enables us to deduce the properties of neutron-star matter with increasing precision." When you purchase through links on our ...

Researchers found that understanding the stability of the rings of atoms in glass materials can help them predict the performance of glass products. This capability is important because the most ...

Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned physicists. Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars that have exploded as ...

UK Atomic Energy Authority to Support Pulsar Fusion with Neutron Shielding Modelling for Sunbird Fusion Propulsion Programme ...

Nuclear fission is a substantial part of the world’s energy mix, but out in the broader universe, fission is much harder to come by. Now, a new study from Los Alamos National Laboratory and North ...

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about ...

Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" tells the story of who created the first atomic bomb. The Manhattan Project required a fair amount of quantum physics and complex science. Here's a list of scientific ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Corning scientists discovered that as the number of smaller, less-stable atomic rings in a glass increases, the instability, or liquid fragility, of the glass also ...
