A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest ...

Paul Howarth, president of the Institute of Physics, says ‘constructive dialogue’ with the government is needed, or the country risks losing the next generation of scientists.

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

Early-career physicist Natasha Khan talks about her route to becoming a nuclear safety engineer – a journey that includes job rejections, the charity sector and nuclear awards ...

Physicists working with molybdenum-84, a nucleus containing exactly 42 protons and 42 neutrons, have found that this seemingly balanced atom defies one of nuclear physics’ longest-standing ...

1 The Arts and Humanities (AH) and Social Sciences (SS) perspectives are subsets of the Breadth of Knowledge (BOK) requirements in the Core Curriculum. No more than two BOK courses can be taken with ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

Michelle Dolinski, PhD, has a background in nuclear and particle physics, specializing in experimental neutrino physics. Neutrinos, while difficult to study in the laboratory, may be the key to ...

Biological physics, or the physics of living systems, has emerged fully as a field of physics, alongside more traditional fields of astrophysics and cosmology, atomic, molecular and optical physics, ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...
