Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

Jericho celebrates its 20th anniversary with a nuclear physics audit: the CBS drama got electromagnetic pulse right, confirmed by a 1962 US nuclear test. But fallout cleared in hours, not weeks. The ...

Scientists using the STAR detector to study particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have found an intriguing dip in their data in a relatively unexplored region of the ...

Simulating the fundamental forces of nature on a computer is one of the grand challenges of modern physics, and a team at the ...

ZEISS' new CinCraft LensCore plugin launches June 1 and uses GPU-accelerated ray tracing to bring real lens physics such as bokeh, distortion, and vignetting into Nuke compositing. ZEISS CinCraft ...

Researchers have characterized the temperature-induced frequency shifts of a thorium-229 nuclear transition—an important step in establishing thorium clocks as next-generation frequency standards.

A new computational method could help scientists understand the shapes of deformed nuclei from first principles. Figure 1: Pairwise interactions between protons (yellow) and neutrons (green) are among ...

Combining physics and generative AI creates novel, exquisitely active and selective molecules quickly and accurately, ...

For University of Utah students, a nuclear engineering track had to do more with healthcare technology and less with the nuclear reactors that Utah elected officials keep mentioning in their ...
