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.

A collaboration between researchers in the US and Germany has made a major breakthrough in optical nuclear clocks, achieving laser-based excitation of Thoria-229 in a non-transparent host material.

After winning a Breakthrough Prize, the world’s most lucrative science award, theoretical physicist David Gross is using the ...

Global momentum continues to build behind nuclear power. There are more than 400 nuclear reactors in operation today in 31 countries, and the number of countries that are considering, planning or well ...
