An atom is so small that a single drop of water contains more than a billion atoms. Although tiny, atoms are mostly empty space. The simplified model of the atom is that of a cloud of negative ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear ...

JILA researchers are pioneering a nuclear clock using thorium-229, which offers unprecedented stability compared to atomic ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...
