Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of ...

UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...

Scientists have begun applying machine learning tools to nuclear physics challenges. In the past few years, a flurry of machine learning projects has come online in nuclear physics, and researchers ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the ...

The last week of July heralded not one but two scientific breakthroughs that have left the academic community abuzz and may bring us one step closer to the holy grail of fusion energy. Nuclear fusion ...

The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

Our account of the strong nuclear force is full of imaginative terms. Six flavors of quarks have color charges of red, green and blue, which dictate how they bind to form particles like protons and ...
