In episode one, we look at the birth of nuclear physics—the science that emerged early in the 20th century to answer a mystery: what is an atom actually made of?

Given that physics is at the core of nearly all nuclear science and technology benefits, it seemed appropriate to examine, at this year´s Scientific Forum, a number of the contributions that continued ...

Nuclear physics is a forbidding subject, even for trained physicists. To understand current news and discussion about nuclear science and technology, some background knowledge is required. The high ...

Nuclear physics research is focused on understanding the matter composed of quarks and gluons, which makes up 99% of the mass of the universe. Most of this matter is found at the core of atoms, the ...

In Physics of Fluids, researchers simulate an atomic bomb explosion from a typical intercontinental ballistic missile and the resulting blast wave to see how it would affect people sheltering ...

An experimental technique that started life in nuclear and particle physics is now being used to measure chemical reactions inside the human body and to help diagnose cancer and heart disease in ...

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 ...

CERN, founded in Geneva by European member states on the principle of “Science for Peace,” is the world’s leading particle physics and nuclear research laboratory. It currently comprises 25 member ...
