An international research team has achieved an important milestone for astrophysics at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt: In the ...

New research suggests a particle inside an atom can lose mass, offering a fresh look at how matter works at the smallest ...

An international team at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt has measured nuclear reactions at an unprecedented low energy of 403 keV in a heavy-ion storage ring, simulating stellar conditions. The breakthrough, ...

India's most advanced reactor has set the country on a path towards potentially cutting its dependence on uranium.

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 ...

Nuclear astrophysics is dedicated to unravelling the complex nuclear processes that govern stellar evolution, explosive cosmic events and the synthesis of elements throughout the Universe. Central to ...

Misconceived notions about AI-assisted analysis dramatically overlook the parallels between contemporary intelligence ...

I was very disappointed to see the editorial supporting development of new or reenergized nuclear power plants (Nov. 18, 2024, page 2). Whatever happened to concerns about safely storing ...

Is nuclear power the world's best hope for slowing climate change—or a high-stakes gamble that risks radioactive disaster? What if it's both? As the world seeks cleaner energy sources, nuclear energy ...
