The nuclear fusion breakthrough scientists once called impossible
Nuclear fusion has long been the energy world’s moonshot, a reaction so powerful and so difficult to tame that many physicists once doubted it would ever be harnessed on Earth. Yet in the past few years,
Our account of the strong nuclear force is full of imaginative terms. Six flavors of quarks have color charges of red, green and blue, which dictate how they bind to form particles like protons and neutrons. Gluons mediate these interactions in a system ...
Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE's Brookhaven National ...
During the 1960s, the feds asked fresh-out-of-school physicists to try to build a nuke with no prior knowledge. Reading time 4 minutes The National Security Archive has published recently declassified documents related to the “Nth Country Project,” a ...
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 critical and transformative fields in modern energy.
