Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful? It's time for our second to final Physics episode. So, let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does ...

A team of researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) has discovered that cobalt-70 isotopes form different nuclear shapes when their energy levels ...

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 ...

Probing ever deeper into the inner world of the atom, nuclear physicists have uncovered an increasingly baffling collection of tiny particles. Besides the familiar neutrons, electrons and protons, ...

Professor of Physics Tom Mehen is remembered as a pioneer in the field of nuclear and theoretical physics and an inspiring mentor who formed lasting connections with his students. Mehen, 54, died Dec.

Laser-based 'optical tweezers' could levitate uranium and plutonium particles, thus allowing the measurement of nuclear recoil during radioactive decay. This technique provides a new method for ...
