Image of the week: nuclear processes in the universe
Nuclear reactions in stars are the powerhouses of the universe, and its these same processes that create the elements. Understanding these processes is one of the core aims in the field of nuclear astrophysics – something that our recent interview… Read More ›
The CRESST experiment: an interview with dark matter hunters
Dr Florian Reindl and Dr Moritz v. Sivers tell us about the hunt for dark matter and rare nuclear decays using ultra-sensitive detectors.
What is nuclear astrophysics?
Professor Hendrik Schatz talks to us about the field that shapes the understanding of everything we see in the night sky and the planet we live on.
Stabilization of 8Be in plasma
The static screening effect in a plasma of charged particles prolongs the lifetime of 8Be
Image of the week: Patterson patterns
Probing the nucleon with the electron scattering technique is one of the best ways to understand nuclear structure, and understanding this process gives rise to our image of the week. Authors M Karliner, C King and N S Manton from Tel Aviv University… Read More ›
Evolving images of the proton: hadron physics over the past 40 years
“Once upon a time, the world was simple: the proton contained three quarks, two ups and a down. “
Looking through the crystal ball at nuclear structure physics
Nuclei are at the core of everything in day to day life. Understanding how they work and interact is a fundamental science vital to applications in the real world as well as pure research.
Image of the week: Dalitz plots
Image of the Week: Dalitz plots – We really like this image, it looks like Bane from Batman!
A focus on shape coexistence in nuclei
A classic way to think of an atomic nucleus is as a sphere; but this isn’t quite right. Many are deformed, and are stranger than you think.
Alfred Mueller on atomic physics
Read an interview with an expert who’s bridging the gap between atomic and nuclear physics.
