A global database of nuclear physics discoveries spanning more than a century has ranked three University of Surrey physicists among the world’s top 10 for discovering and characterising nuclear ...

Two researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’sArgonne National Laboratory have won 2025 Early Career Research Program awards from the DOE Office of Science. David Kaphan and Yong Zhao .... - ...

One of the issues with nuclear power plants is that they produce long-lived radioactive waste. Storing spent nuclear fuel is a real problem. However, researchers at the Department of ...

The word " atom " is from the Greek word atomos, which means "uncuttable". This is the smallest particle in the universe that behaves "normally". Normal behaviour for a particular atom means that it ...

Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree 'soup' of unimaginably dense plasma.

In terms of the Quasiparticle Model, a single particle travels through a sea of fermions, which include electrons, protons, or neutrons, and interacts persistently with its neighbours.

Physicists have made a monumental discovery that sheds light on the early moments of the universe. By recreating conditions ...

ORNL's Alfredo Galindo-Uribarri and team studied doubly magic tin-132 - especially stable because it takes more energy to remove a proton or a neutron ...

Separated by an ocean and more than a decade, innovative experiments with 31 tin isotopes having either a surplus or shortage ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.
