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 ...

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 ...

In two separate papers published in Physical Review Letters, researchers investigated the nuclear reactions that take place ...

Our account of the strong nuclear force is full of imaginative terms. Six flavors of quarks have color charges of red, green and blue, which dictate how they bind to form particles like protons and ...

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 ...
