A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma ...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental forces of nature and their interactions with particles, structured as follows: 0:00 ...

Physicists found signs of a key shift in nuclear matter, a potential "tipping point." The study narrows where the strong ...

Simulated gluon field in the nucleus. When energy increases, the nucleus grows and its internal structure changes. A researcher Heikki Mäntysaari from the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), has been ...

As the collapsed core of a massive star, a neutron star is a small but incredibly dense object, packing up to three times the ...

Pushing scientists closer than ever to understanding the Big Bang, physicists have finally measured the temperature of ...

Theoretical nuclear physics is the development of models for describing the nucleus and the processes that occur within it. This includes understanding the shape of the nucleus, or why nuclei with ...

Experimental nuclear physics is the practical investigation of the processes that occur at the heart of an atom. This includes building a better fundamental understanding of fusion and fission, and ...

Quirks & Quarks celebrates its 50th anniversary this week, looking back at a half century of science and peering forward to the next 50 years. In 1975, when David Suzuki introduced the first episode ...
