The University of Colorado has active groups in both theoretical and experimental research in nuclear physics. Ed Kinney: My research is focused on the elucidation of how the basic constituents of the ...

On earth, the potential advantages of energy by controlled nuclear fusion are manifold ... At present, thermonuclear fusion is the main area of research in plasma physics.

The study of 'starquakes' (like earthquakes, but in stars) promises to give us important new insights into the properties of ...

An overview of static and dynamic electricity and magnetism, electromagnetic waves, basic optics, and an introduction to modern and nuclear physics with an emphasis on problem solving and applications ...

But beneath all these practical problems lies a huge quantum mystery. At a basic level, quantum physics predicts very strange things about how matter works that are completely at odds with how ...

Professor of Nuclear Physics 'This was also the discovery of the proton and Rutherford showed that the “nucleus of hydrogen” existed in the nucleus of other atoms and thus appeared as a basic building ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...
