Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

The international team also used the data to get direct information about the deformation of the atomic nucleus in ytterbium ...

An international team of physicists has successfully measured the size of a certain type of neutrino to a certain degree. In ...

Three-nucleon force affects nuclear stability, impacting element formation and stellar evolution. The force increases energy ...

When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from ...

Our estimates of the size of a neutrino span from smaller than an atomic nucleus to as large as a few metres, but now we are ...

For almost a century, measurements have indicated that a significant proportion of matter in the universe consists of unknown ...

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA ... The UKAEA said developing mass production of tritium fuel was a critical step if commercial fusion power plants were to become a reality.

The unexpected results revealed that most of the atom’s mass resides in a dense nucleus ... This 1911 discovery redefined atomic structure and, therefore, atomic physics.

Ernest Rutherford, a Nobel Prize winner known as the father of nuclear physics, is regarded by many as the first to knowingly split the atom by artificially inducing a nuclear reaction in 1917 while ...

A small town mayor in New Zealand has picked a nuclear fight with Donald Trump, after the freshly sworn-in U.S. president heaped praise on American scientists for splitting the atom. The mayor of ...

Rutherford was the first to intentionally split the atom through a nuclear reaction. His discoveries not only defined the modern understanding of atomic structure but also paved the way for future ...
