Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful? It's time for our second to final Physics episode. So, let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does ...

Nuclear physics research is focused on understanding the matter composed of quarks and gluons, which makes up 99% of the mass of the universe. Most of this matter is found at the core of atoms, the ...

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 ...

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 nuclear ...

Physicists working with molybdenum-84, a nucleus containing exactly 42 protons and 42 neutrons, have found that this seemingly balanced atom defies one of nuclear physics’ longest-standing ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up of my favourite research of 2025 I have chosen five stories in which ...

Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.
