For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

Simulations of equations from the Standard Model of particle physics are too difficult for classical supercomputers. In this ...

Because their internal conditions are impossible to replicate on Earth, studying them could reveal fundamental insights into nuclear physics. New research led by scientists at the University of ...

The West Texas city of Abilene is better known for country music and rodeos than advanced nuclear physics. But that’s where scientists are entering the final stretch of a race to boot up the next ...

Scientists have been building nuclear weapons for more than 80 years, but crafting this technology remains a challenge.

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 ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study ...

Andhra University hosts national workshop on computer interfaced physics experiments with 140 participants, including faculty, scholars, and students.

The "applied" research combines advanced detector development projects with applications in diverse fields including nuclear energy, medical physics and materials science, built on strong ...

Manchester is the birthplace of nuclear physics and this year marks 100 years since Ernest Rutherford ‘split the atom’ at The University of Manchester…or does it? In 1917, the Nobel Prize winner ...

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 ...
