Founder Ratu Mataira is convinced OpenStar can outpace rivals with its cheaper reactor design.

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers every star in the observable universe, has moved from theoretical physics into the realm of real laboratory results. On December 5, 2022, scientists achieved ...

More than 40 researchers from international institutes collaborated to develop and implement a method that enables measurements with unprecedented precision. This sets new standards for theories and ...

Muons tend to scatter more from high-atomic-number materials, so the technique is particularly sensitive to the presence of materials such as uranium. As a result, it has been used to create systems ...

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated ...

Work on nuclear physics in the early twentieth century moved across borders, institutes and private letters. Lise Meitner was part of that movement fo.

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 ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector ...

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 ...
