Scientists are exploring a new type of optical atomic clock based on ytterbium-173 ions that could help define the future standard for measuring time.

A team of physicists has computationally constructed a two-dimensional material that behaves like a paradox: it is disordered ...

Physicists have found a new “island of inversion” in the nucleus of molybdenum-84, a perfectly balanced atom with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. The discovery upends a decades-old assumption ...

You know how your phone seems to get faster and hold more stuff every year? A lot of that magic comes down to tiny, tiny ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly on Monday linked the current nuclear crisis in the Middle East directly to the 2018 collapse of the Iran nuclear deal. Speaking on ...

Four nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan, exploded 15 years ago on March 11, 2011, touching off a nuclear catastrophe Japan ...

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

Inside a cavernous hall at the Swiss-French border, the air hums with high voltage and possibility. From his perch on the ...

Long-established in accelerator physics, bent crystals are now being explored as tools to measure the fundamental properties ...

The CMS collaboration compared high-transverse-momentum particle yields in oxygen–oxygen, neon–neon, xenon–xenon and lead–lead collisions.
