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 ...

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

A team of researchers has identified atomic distortions that may be linked with high-temperature superconductivity in a ...

Photoionization, the process by which an incident photon ejects an electron from an atom, lies at the heart of many atomic physics studies. Coupled with cross section measurements – which quantify the ...

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 ...

Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...

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

Nuclear weapons tests are among the most violent events humans can trigger, and that violence leaves fingerprints in the Earth, sea, air, and even in orbit. The physics of shock waves, sound, and ...

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

Many-body physics is the study of large ensembles of interacting particles and their collective behaviour. These systems are ...
