The history of science is never neutral. How Ukrainian identity in physics was erased over decades and why the «Soviet school» is not the same as the «Russian school.» We are bringing the names of ...

Fin-de-siècle physics: a world picture in flux -- The world of physics -- Discharges in gases and what followed -- Atomic architecture -- The slow rise of quantum theory -- Physics at low temperatures ...

Following the announcement that the Royal Air Force is regaining nuclear weapons, we explore the service’s history using nukes, explaining why they were originally abandoned in 1998. For 43 years, the ...

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

A special set of numbers has formed the backbone of nuclear physics research for decades, and now we finally know how it arises from the quantum mix of nuclear particles and forces. Nearly 80 years ...

More than 40 researchers from international institutes collaborated to develop and implement a method that enables measurements with unprecedented precision. This sets new standards for theories and ...

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 ...
