A multimillion-dollar government project is betting that particle accelerators can "burn" through the world's most dangerous ...

High-temperature superconducting magnets made from REBCO, an acronym for rare-earth barium copper oxide, make it possible to create an intense magnetic field that can confine the extremely hot plasma ...

The field of nuclear excitation and isomer manipulation centres on the controlled transfer of energy into and out of atomic nuclei, particularly via the excitation of nuclear isomeric states. Nuclear ...

Scientists can create gold in labs through complex nuclear reactions, altering elements like mercury or platinum. However, this process is astronomically expensive and yields microscopic amounts, ...

AMES, Iowa – A team led by an Iowa State University nuclear physicist has won a grant of 204 million hours on two of the country’s fastest supercomputers to study the structure and reactions of rare ...

One of the most formidable obstacles to exploiting the full potential of nuclear energy is the long-term disposal of highly radioactive waste that is generated by the burning of fuel in nuclear ...

A team of scientists has made significant progress in the ongoing quest to create new, long-lasting superheavy nuclei. These double magic nuclei, characterized by a precise number of protons and ...
