The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure ...

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.

Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world ...

Researchers have demonstrated that intense laser fields, particularly at low frequencies, can significantly enhance nuclear ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

Through mass measurements of silicon-22 combined with theoretical calculations, researchers have revealed that silicon-22 possesses a double-magic structure similar to that of oxygen-22, while also ...

The Einstein-de Haas effect has been observed in a quantum fluid, showing that changes in magnetization transfer angular ...

Where did the world’s most devastating weapon come from? In a four-part series, we go behind the scenes at America’s nuclear laboratories to understand how a scientific-mystery story about the ...

Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...

The University of Manchester is hosting 80 leading researchers from the UK, Europe, Asia and the US for an international workshop exploring new approaches to fundamental physics. New Windows on ...

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

Even though the strange behaviour we observe in the quantum realm isn’t part of our daily lives, simulations suggest it is likely our reality could be one of the many worlds in a quantum multiverse ...
