Physicist David Gross said the rising risks of nuclear war could leave humanity with just decades left.

Nobel Prize-winning physicist David Gross has issued a stark warning that humanity stands a slim chance of surviving another ...

Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.

By directing pulses of laser light at atoms, researchers can study how radioactive elements decay in a matter of seconds. The ...

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions.

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 ...

TURIN, Italy, April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- newcleo, in partnership with Politecnico di Torino, is proud to announce ...

Nuclear weapons tests are among the most violent events humans can trigger, and that violence leaves fingerprints in the Earth, sea, air, and even in orbit. The physics of shock waves, sound, and ...

Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...

Through a combination of smarter material choices and machine learning techniques, a team led by Sarah Haigh at the University of Manchester showed how these graphene “nano-aquariums” can work with ...
