As the Department of Defense pushes for greater AI integration, researchers said the top models chose the nuclear option in ...

Nuclear structure and scattering theory form the core of our understanding of atomic nuclei, unraveling how protons and neutrons interact via the strong force and arrange themselves into complex ...

A novel apparatus at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has made extremely precise measurements of unstable ruthenium nuclei. The measurements are a significant ...

Scientists use high-energy heavy ion collisions as a new tool to reveal subtleties of nuclear structure with implications for many areas of physics “In this new measurement, we not only quantify the ...

Nuclei are not always spherical — they can stretch and twist in subtle ways. This figure maps the relationship between modern shape parameters q 2 and η, and the classic Bohr parameters β and γ, ...

The world has seen the devastation caused by the two atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan in the Second World War, but the havoc would be multifold if a modern-day nuclear weapon were used in a ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...
