On earth, the potential advantages of energy by controlled nuclear fusion are manifold ... At present, thermonuclear fusion is the main area of research in plasma physics.

A study published in Physical Review Letters by an international partnership led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear ...

Because of these challenges, scientists often focus on studying their basic, large-scale characteristics ... and expanding the tools of nuclear physics without requiring expensive new developments.

But beneath all these practical problems lies a huge quantum mystery. At a basic level, quantum physics predicts very strange things about how matter works that are completely at odds with how ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers have developed a ...

Professor of Nuclear Physics 'This was also the discovery of the proton and Rutherford showed that the “nucleus of hydrogen” existed in the nucleus of other atoms and thus appeared as a basic building ...
