In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

Nuclear physics is a research area focused on the structure, dynamics, and interactions of atomic nuclei and their constituent nucleons, governed primarily by the strong and weak nuclear forces within ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number of protons equals the number of neutrons. For decades, these strange regions ...

In April 1989 the Soviet Navy’s nuclear submarine Komsomolets caught fire while cruising 335 m beneath the surface of the ...

Nuclear Museum appoints world-renowned nuclear physicist and educator to Board of Trustees. I am excited to use my ...

How they’re using AI at the lab that created the atom bomb.

Two billion years before we made history and split the atom, the Earth had already accomplished it and was running its own nuclear reactors. And they operated for hundreds of thousands of years, as ...

But scientists still haven't quite figured out the physics of how they move. One of the world's most sophisticated scientific facilities is turning to ultra-low temperatures to try and unravel hidden ...

Renowned techno artist Carl Craig is working with scientists to make nuclear concepts accessible art in a new installation.

Kazakhstan’s KAEA has set a roadmap to 2050 for a national nuclear cluster, with the Balkhash NPP as the first project.
