Emergence and growth of nuclear physics as a research field.--The role of theory in the development of nuclear physics siris_sil_182009 ...

Photoionization, the process by which an incident photon ejects an electron from an atom, lies at the heart of many atomic physics studies. Coupled with cross section measurements – which quantify the ...

Nuclear and plasma physics together probe matter under extreme conditions, from the sub-atomic forces that bind protons and neutrons into nuclei, to the collective behaviour of fully ionised gases in ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based directly on the interactions between their protons and neutrons. Published in ...

Pt. 1. From the discovery of the neutron to nuclear fission. The state of nuclear physics in 193l -- Discovery of the neutron -- Discovery of the positron and artificial radioactivity -- Radioactivity ...

Nuclear Museum appoints world-renowned nuclear physicist and educator to Board of Trustees. I am excited to use my ...

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 ...

Michael Riordan has spent decades ruminating on the history of physics, including events he participated in himself. The American Physical Society announced today that they will award physicist and ...
