World's first thorium-229 nuclear clock shows potential for ultra-precise timekeeping and fundamental physics tests.

Researchers at CERN have made a significant breakthrough in nuclear physics by uncovering strong evidence that Tin-100 (100 Sn) has a “doubly magic” nucleus, a property that confers exceptional ...

Off the two-lane highway that winds along the northeast side of the Hawaiian island of Kauai, on a quiet stretch of ranchland between the tourist hubs of Kapaa and Hanalei, an enormous, secret ...

A new study confirms that as atoms are chilled and squeezed to extremes, their ability to scatter light is suppressed. Credit: Christine Daniloff, MIT A new study confirms that as atoms are chilled ...

With the increasing enthusiasm for the hydrogen economy and zero-emission fuel cell technologies, intensive efforts have been dedicated to the development of high-performance electrocatalytic ...

Nuclear structure theory has recently gone through a major renewal with the development of ab initio techniques that can be applied to a large number of atomic nuclei, well-beyond the light sector ...

In a size regime where every atom counts, rational design and synthesis of optimal nanostructures demands direct interrogation of the effects of structural divergence of individuals on the ...

To maximize energy efficiency, gas turbine engines used in airplanes and for power generation operate at very high temperatures, even above the melting point of the metal alloys from which they are ...
