Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have reported important progress in quantum physics and materials ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number of protons equals the number of neutrons. For decades, these strange regions ...

Nuclear weapons tests are among the most violent events humans can trigger, and that violence leaves fingerprints in the Earth, sea, air, and even in orbit. The physics of shock waves, sound, and ...

Nuclear physics is a research area focused on the structure, dynamics, and interactions of atomic nuclei and their constituent nucleons, governed primarily by the strong and weak nuclear forces within ...

Paul Howarth, president of the Institute of Physics, says ‘constructive dialogue’ with the government is needed, or the country risks losing the next generation of scientists. It feels, at the moment, ...

Nuclear effect The deformed shape of the ytterbium-173 nucleus (right) makes it possible to excite the clock transition with a relatively low-power laser. The same transition is forbidden (left) if ...

A Transformative Decision In 1928, shortly after arriving at Cambridge to pursue mechanical engineering, a young man from ...
