Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $10 million for interdisciplinary research in Quantum Information Science (QIS) and nuclear physics. The aim of this funding is to draw on the ...

On an October morning in 2023, a chemical explosion detonated in a tunnel under the Nevada desert was the launch of the next set of experiments by the National Nuclear Security Administration, with ...

The figure illustrates the experimental setup used to measure neutron leakage spectra from natural lead (nat Pb) slab samples, employing both D-T and D-D neutron sources at the integral experiment ...

Target preparation techniques are fundamental to nuclear physics experiments as they provide the essential interface where high-energy reactions occur. Researchers employ a range of fabrication ...

More than 40 researchers from international institutes collaborated to develop and implement a method that enables measurements with unprecedented precision. This sets new standards for theories and ...

AMES, Iowa – John Lajoie, surrounded in his office by Star Trek posters and a few space hero action figures, recently made the case for nuclear physics research and the multi-million-dollar ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may make all the difference. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

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 ...
