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 ...
Pt. 1. From the discovery of the neutron to nuclear fission. The state of nuclear physics in 193l -- Discovery of the neutron -- Discovery of the positron and artificial radioactivity -- Radioactivity ...
Last spring, filming for Chistopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” stirred excitement at the Institute for Advanced Study and in Princeton’s East Pyne courtyard. The 1940s-era biopic, which opened with ...
On August 30, 1871, Ernest Rutherford, who would later establish the groundwork for nuclear physics and be knighted as Sir Ernest Rutherford, was born in Nelson, New Zealand as the fourth of 12 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...
