Kenyan scientist Fridah Mokaya made history as the first black woman to earn a PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of ...

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 ...

Nuclear fusion has long been the energy world’s moonshot, a reaction so powerful and so difficult to tame that many ...

In a first, researchers from the U.S. and Germany excite Thorium-229 in opaque material, advancing optical nuclear clocks.

Are you ready to be part of the next wave of energy innovators? The nuclear energy science certificate at the University of Wyoming offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into one of the most ...

Nuclear physics is a mature science with strong connections to both fundamental physics and nuclear astrophysics, namely the origin of the chemical elements 1,2. Nuclear physics is over 100 years old, ...

The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...
