A compact method of detecting neutrinos provides new tests of physics theories and could lead to new reactor-monitoring methods.
Researchers from Kyushu University, Japan have revealed how a special type of force within an atom's nucleus, known as the three-nucleon force, impacts nuclear stability. The study, published in Physics Letters B,
Scientists have reached a significant milestone in nuclear physics with the direct observation of three distinct deformations in the atomic nucleus of lead-190 (190Pb). These deformations correspond to three unique shapes: spherical,
A remarkable feat has just been achieved in China in the quest for clean and inexhaustible energy. An experimental nuclear fusion machine has succeeded in maintaining plasma confinement for
The instrument exploits the phenomenon of optical levitation to "trap" glass nanospheres with light inside it, thanks to which it is possible to simultaneously observe phenomena typical of both classical physics and quantum physics,
In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving sustainable,
HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - Officials with Hazard Community and Technical College (HCTC) announced they will launch the state’s only nuclear medicine imagining program. Officials say the program’s launch is in response to growing workforce needs in this sector of the region’s healthcare industry.
Mehen, 54, died Dec. 29 at his home in Chapel Hill. He is remembered as a "brilliant theoretical physicist" and a "great teacher [and] mentor."

An article published in the journal Optica describes the development of a new experimental device that explores the boundary between classical and quantum physics, allowing the simultaneous observation and investigation of phenomena from both worlds.
China is constructing a massive laser-ignited fusion research facility in Mianyang, with a structure resembling the U.S. National Ignition Facility (NIF). Satellite images suggest the experiment bay is 50% larger than NIF,
The Chinese EAST reactor has maintained a temperature of approximately 100 million degrees Celsius for 18 minutes, setting a new record. Maintaining such high plasma temperatures is crucial for the future of nuclear energy.
