Scientists traced a mysterious surge of low-energy gamma rays from zinc-70 to magnetic changes occurring inside its nucleus.

Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

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 ...

A scientific team led by Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, has identified the origin of a mysterious excess of ...

Three-body interactions in a quantum gas have been isolated for the first time in a continuum Bose-Einstein condensate — ...

The nucleus of an atom is now the modern version of sand flowing through an hourglass. Researchers have spent 15 years trying to increase accuracy in timekeeping. The U.S. standard currently relies on ...

Asymmetric nuclei are ideal for this purpose because their lopsided shape makes small changes easier to detect. Radium, for ...

Jointly organized by the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) since 2004, this Nuclear Knowledge Management (NKM) School ...

Atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics explores the quantum behaviour of electrons, atoms and light, and their mutual interactions across energy, length and time scales. In atoms and molecules, ...

Master nuclear cardiology with ACC’s expert-led, on-demand courses covering imaging, physics, and workflows — earn CME and stay current in clinical practice.

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. A team at the UQ School of Mathematics and Physics has ...
