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

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

Nuclear isomers are crucial probes for studying the structure of nuclei. Unlike chemical isomers—which have the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms—nuclear isomers are nuclei ...

A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest ...

Physicists working with molybdenum-84, a nucleus containing exactly 42 protons and 42 neutrons, have found that this seemingly balanced atom defies one of nuclear physics’ longest-standing ...

A “nuclear engine” has many advantages, notably providing a vehicle with an almost unlimited supply of onboard power, with no need for regular refuelling. That’s particularly attractive for large ...

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 ...

Early-career physicist Natasha Khan talks about her route to becoming a nuclear safety engineer – a journey that includes job rejections, the charity sector and nuclear awards ...
