Researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that holds it together. This ...

Helium is the simplest element in the periodic table with more than one particle in its nucleus, yet state of the art theory and experiments on it don't add up. When you purchase through links on our ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Scientists have observed a never-before-seen form of oxygen, and its behavior could call into question what nuclear physics ...

A tiny neutrino detector has found its footing in a fresh setting — at a nuclear reactor. Conventional detectors of the subatomic particles require metric tons of material. But the new detector has a ...

Physicists have caught neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a device weighing just a few kilograms, orders of magnitude less massive than standard neutrino detectors. The technique opens new ways to ...
