Nuclear astrophysics is dedicated to unravelling the complex nuclear processes that govern stellar evolution, explosive cosmic events and the synthesis of elements throughout the Universe. Central to ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. (Nanowerk News) ...

Thousands of meters underground, in the chthonic depths of Earth's crust, scientists have at long last caught solar neutrinos in the act of transforming carbon-13 into nitrogen-13. It's the first time ...

Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such as lead or bismuth, it is trillions of times stronger than Earth's field and ...

Rumors are circulating that laboratories in China can produce gold. Here's how gold is made in labs, as we know it.

The ore was recovered in the early 1970s and completely stumped scientists, until they realized it was evidence of something ...

I agree 100% with the premise that nuclear power can serve our energy needs for the future. However, the use of thorium is a better choice for the smaller modular reactors. Thorium should be strongly ...

A pivotal scene in the explosive hit biopic and Best Picture winner, "Oppenheimer," involves America's top scientists discussing whether or not to develop an even more potent nuclear weapon — the ...

Researchers develop a new type of rumor propagation model, taking inspiration from nuclear reactions. Their model can provide fresh insights on how online disinformation spreads and how to combat it.

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...
