(Nanowerk News) When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the Max ...

Nuclear fusion, the process whereby atomic nuclei coalesce to form a heavier nucleus, lies at the heart of both energy generation and the synthesis of elements in the cosmos. In recent decades, ...

Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with their collaborators, ...

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated ...

In 2024, TU Wien presented the world's first nuclear clock. Now it has been demonstrated that the technology can also be used to investigate unresolved questions in fundamental physics. Thorium atomic ...

Many heavy atomic nuclei are shaped more or less like squashed rugby balls than fully inflated ones, according to a theoretical study by RIKEN nuclear physicists published in The European Physical ...
