By using a rare thorium nucleus as a timekeeper, physicists have demonstrated the first working nuclear clock, a device that could lead to even more precise clocks and new ways to search for dark ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build a device even more precise than an atomic clock, which keeps time using electrons ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. A team at the UQ School of Mathematics and Physics has ...

But physicists have long dreamt of even better clocks that run on atomic nuclei, which are less sensitive to environmental disturbances. According to new research, that dream might soon become reality ...

First dreamed up decades ago, the world's first nuclear clocks are set to improve quickly, becoming more precise and aiding the hunt for dark matter.

As we scour and scorch the Earth for deeper wells of energy, investors and government agencies are pouring billions into ...

Jefferson Lab, a nuclear physics research lab, broke ground on a 30,000 sq ft (2,787 sqm) data center last Friday.

Nuclear and plasma physics together probe matter under extreme conditions, from the sub-atomic forces that bind protons and neutrons into nuclei, to the collective behaviour of fully ionised gases in ...

The 1998 sci-fi classic Armageddon might not have a reputation as a scientifically accurate film. But scientists now say the Hollywood blockbuster got one thing right – we really could nuke an ...

ZEISS' new CinCraft LensCore plugin launches June 1 and uses GPU-accelerated ray tracing to bring real lens physics such as bokeh, distortion, and vignetting into Nuke compositing. ZEISS CinCraft ...
