A compact method of detecting neutrinos provides new tests of physics theories and could lead to new reactor-monitoring methods.

Understanding how these nucleons interact to keep the nucleus stable and in a low energy state has been a central question in nuclear physics for over a century. The most powerful nuclear force is ...

The study of 'starquakes' (like earthquakes, but in stars) promises to give us important new insights into the properties of ...

Nuclear physics is the study of the protons and neutrons at the centre of an atom and the interactions that hold them together in a space just a few femtometres (10-15 metres) across. Example ...

Students will gain valuable research experience at a major national research institution this summer, thanks to an $800,000 federal grant from the Department of Energy.

Ms Masango was the first African woman to join an African-led team conducting experiments at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern), which is the world's largest particle physics ...
