UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...

Multipurpose structures could find use in targeted drug delivery, catalysis, microelectronics and tissue engineering ...

The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...

The geometry of space, the setting in which physical laws operate, may hold clues to some of the biggest unanswered questions in fundamental physics. The underlying structure of spacetime itself could ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits.

NCCR SPIN focuses on creating scalable spin qubits in semiconductor nanostructures made of silicon and germanium, with the ...

I'm a Nuclear Engineer with 10+ years of experience in nuclear power — from engineering ⚙️, operations ⚡, maintenance 🔧, ...

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 ...

The study of chiral nuclear physics explores the phenomenon of handedness that arises from the interplay between triaxial deformation and the angular momentum of valence nucleons. In such systems, the ...
