Nuclear physics is a mature science with strong connections to both fundamental physics and nuclear astrophysics, namely the origin of the chemical elements 1,2. Nuclear physics is over 100 years old, ...
Fusion startups are racing to prove that they can bottle the power of the stars without the sprawling magnets or precision particle beams that defined earlier generations of reactors. Instead of ...
UNIST has taken a major step toward laying the technical groundwork for developing next-generation high-intensity accelerators by providing a new advanced theoretical tool for the design and analysis ...
Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...
On target: profile of the electron beam at the Advanced Light Source. (Courtesy: Berkeley Lab) Machine learning has been used by scientists in the US to reduce unwanted fluctuations in photon beams ...
Molecular reactant Ball-and-stick model of carbon monoxide. The rate at which the molecule reacts with helium ions can be controlled using microwaves. (Courtesy: Benjah-bmm27) Through new experiments, ...
Like soft serve ice cream, beams of atoms and molecules now come with a swirl. Vortex beams made of light or electrons have shown promise for making special types of microscope images and for ...
A physics model helps scientists accurately predict the likely outcome of a chemical reaction as well as sheds new light on mysterious quantum states, including the Efimov effect. Findings from a ...
