Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...

Enhanced nuclear application strategies "By better understanding the behavior of nuclei in these conditions, we can enhance our approaches to nuclear energy production and radiation therapy," stated J ...

Sand, a nuclear physics expert, is supported by new vice heads for research and education. All started their work on ...

Born in New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford transformed our understanding of matter, uncovering the atomic nucleus and laying the ...

Nuclear physics investigates the properties, structure and reactions of atomic nuclei, the dense assemblies of protons and neutrons bound by the strong nuclear force. Central themes include the ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. A team at the UQ School of Mathematics and Physics has ...
