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.

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected breakdown of nuclear order in a remarkably symmetric atom, challenging long-standing ideas about where such effects can occur.

A study by an international partnership led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear Physics Group challenges the long-held idea ...

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Scientists at the University of Notre Dame and elsewhere have begun using a new $4 million nuclear accelerator to study the origin of elements and the chemical evolution of the ...

For the first lecture in the Fall Physics Colloquium Series, Chuankun Zhang, a graduate student from the University of Colorado Boulder's physics department and a researcher at JILA, delivered an ...
