For roughly a decade, top minds at CERN have been cooking up plans for a successor to the Large Hadron Collider, a network of magnets that accelerate particles through a 27-kilometer (17-mile) ...

Ryan Amberger is headed to Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he will spend the next year studying nuclear astrophysics — specifically, the process behind the creation of half of the elements ...

The proposed 91-kilometer collider could be up and running by the 2040s, but it won't perform high-energy physics until 2070.

University of Queensland scientists have cracked a long-standing puzzle in nuclear physics, showing that nuclear polarization, once thought to hinder experiments with muonic atoms, has a much smaller ...

It was a massive leap forward in nuclear physics, but today Lise Meitner remains obscure and largely forgotten. She was excluded from the victory celebration because she was a Jewish woman.

In a bid to revolutionize fields such as clean energy research, environmental monitoring, and medicine, the staff and ...

New data establish an upper limit of 0.45 eV/c2 (equivalent to 8 x 10-37 kilograms) for the neutrino mass. KATRIN measures neutrino mass in the laboratory using a model-independent method.

Atomic clocks are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the optical clock, which ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. A team at the UQ School of Mathematics and Physics has ...

For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics research, and tests of fundamental theories. But researchers at JILA ...
