Scientists have reached a significant milestone in nuclear physics with the direct observation of three distinct deformations ...

Nuclear physics research is focused on understanding the matter composed of quarks and gluons, which makes up 99% of the mass of the universe. Most of this matter is found at the core of atoms, the ...

To celebrate, we have published a bumper crop of articles on particle and nuclear physics in 2024. Many focus on people and my favourite articles have definitely skewed in that direction. So let’s ...

The authors used nuclear physics as a case study to demonstrate how MI could reveal new understandings of complex problems through models trained to solve them. Understanding high-dimensional ...

Mehen, 54, died Dec. 29 at his home in Chapel Hill. He is remembered as a "brilliant theoretical physicist" and a "great ...

Those eagerly awaiting the promise of nuclear fusion were dealt a bad hand in 2024 when the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), designed to be the world’s biggest and baddest ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This ...

A small town mayor in New Zealand has picked a nuclear fight with Donald Trump, after the freshly sworn-in US president ...

Integrating physics priors into machine learning enhances efficiency, reduces data needs and yields reliable results. This Perspective explores physics-driven learning and inverse modelling of ...

These well-regarded universities have shown strength in producing research in a wide range of topics related to physics – the study of matter and energy. Topics include particle and nuclear ...

The standard academic entry requirement for this PhD is an upper second-class (2:1) honours degree in a discipline directly relevant to the PhD (or international equivalent) OR any upper-second class ...

The unexpected discovery of the double-charm tetraquark has given physicists a new tool with which to hone their understanding of the strongest of nature’s fundamental forces. The Quanta Newsletter ...
