The most precise clocks in the world will lose only one second every 300 billion years—and someday they might fit in your ...

A method to take snapshots of exploding nuclei could hold clues about the fundamental properties of gold, uranium and other ...

Atomic nuclei, composed of protons and neutrons, hide quarks and gluons at their core. These latter particles, still challenging to study, have long eluded scientists. In the mid-20th ...

Based on an experiment at CERN, a collaboration led by the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, can predict hitherto unchartered changes in the shape of nuclei.

A pair of physicists from MIT and Jefferson Lab and an animator have created a new visualization of the atomic nucleaus. For ...

Advancements in nuclear physics may soon enable the creation of stable, superheavy nuclei, paving the way for new materials ...

The shape of nuclei affects all aspects The shape of a nucleus, the central core of an atom ... and low-energy techniques ...

The temporary pair of correlated nucleons is highlighted in purple. The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons.

Why are there atomic clocks but no nuclear clocks? After all, an atom's nucleus is typically surrounded by many electrons, so ...

Physicists have made a breakthrough in the development of a nuclear clock, a new kind of ultraprecise clock that could ...

Advancements in nuclear physics suggest the possibility of discovering stable, superheavy elements. Researchers have found an ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? Researchers report on experiments to come closer to an answer. They gained insight ...
