Two independent teams of scientists have created the first functional clocks that can keep ultraprecise time using the nuclei ...

But physicists have long dreamt of even better clocks that run on atomic nuclei, which are less sensitive to environmental disturbances. According to new research, that dream might soon become reality ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. A team at the UQ School of Mathematics and Physics has ...

The nucleus of an atom is now the modern version of sand flowing through an hourglass. Researchers have spent 15 years trying to increase accuracy in timekeeping. The U.S. standard currently relies on ...

Enhanced nuclear application strategies "By better understanding the behavior of nuclei in these conditions, we can enhance our approaches to nuclear energy production and radiation therapy," stated J ...

Jefferson Lab, a nuclear physics research lab, broke ground on a 30,000 sq ft (2,787 sqm) data center last Friday.

The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...

Nuclear physics investigates the properties, structure and reactions of atomic nuclei, the dense assemblies of protons and neutrons bound by the strong nuclear force. Central themes include the ...

Several thousand people were in attendance at the Mountain America Center arena in Idaho Falls on Thursday afternoon to ...
