If nuclear fusion technology can be safely harnessed, it will provide a practically infinite source of clean energy. China's ...

An asteroid between about 130 and 300 ft. (40 and 90 meters) in diameter has been given a 2.3% chance of it hitting Earth on ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

Called the Lévy walk (or in some cases the Lévy flight) after mathematician Paul Lévy, it is a type of random wandering that ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford, together with colleagues at the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and at several other laboratories, have announced results from a new search ...

Physicists searching for “dark forces” unexpectedly discovered deformed atomic nuclei. When top research teams collaborate, ...

The results confirmed the original anomaly, but thanks to new nuclear theory calculations from researchers at TU Darmstadt, ...

Called the Lévy walk (or in some cases the Lévy flight) after mathematician Paul Lévy, it is a type of random wandering that ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs), originally designed for detecting ...

Neutron stars, the collapsed remnants of massive stars, hold the densest matter in the universe. These cosmic objects are ...

The international team also used the data to get direct information about the deformation of the atomic nucleus in ytterbium ...
