The world's first nuclear clocks are ticking, opening a new way to investigate dark matter and other mysteries of physics
For decades, scientists have tried to build a device even more precise than an atomic clock, which keeps time using electrons, the negatively charged particles that whiz around in an atom. Now, two ...

A team of researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) has discovered that cobalt-70 isotopes form different nuclear shapes when their energy levels ...
Trions form when three particles, like quarks or electrons, come together. This formation occurs in quantum particles in ...

The nucleus of an atom is now the modern version of sand flowing through an hourglass. Researchers have spent 15 years trying to increase accuracy in timekeeping. The U.S. standard currently relies on ...
Nuclear and plasma physics together probe matter under extreme conditions, from the sub-atomic forces that bind protons and neutrons into nuclei, to the collective behaviour of fully ionised gases in ...
A philosopher has put forward an argument for rethinking how particles are defined within the standard model of particle ...
Researchers were unsure whether alpha particles would aid or hinder fusion. Simulations suggest they help, by dampening ...
