Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may ...

Discover the physics behind stamps sticking to envelopes, from fundamental forces to Van der Waals interactions, explained ...

A breakthrough in nuclear physics at Florida Polytechnic University has created an advanced machine learning model that ...

Imagine a source of energy several times stronger than a nuclear power plant, but without the long-lasting radioactive byproducts. That process is called nuclear fusion and scientists hope to make it ...

Uranium is a story of duality. It is a mineral pulled from ancient rocks that can light up a city or wipe one off the map. It’s not just a relic of the Cold War or science fiction. It’s real, it’s ...

Scientists reveal for the first time the atomic structure of liquid carbon, key to exoplanets and nuclear fusion.

Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic ...

The neutral atom array architecture for quantum computing has been rapidly advancing over the last several years, and a ...
