Scientists have reached a significant milestone in nuclear physics with the direct observation of three distinct deformations in the atomic nucleus of lead-190 (190Pb). These deformations correspond to three unique shapes: spherical,

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

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 tokamak powered by magnetic confinement fusion,

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving sustainable,

A small town mayor in New Zealand has picked a nuclear fight with Donald Trump, after the freshly sworn-in US president heaped praise on American scientists for splitting the atom.

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 ...

What if India had never become a nuclear power? What if our scientific aspirations had fallen short of our national dreams? Such a reality could have become reality if not for the extraordinary vision of Dr.

Bhabha's vision remains a guiding force, inspiring the next generation of scientists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to dream bigger and reach further in the quest for sustainable energy solutions.
