In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei. Recognizing these numbers helps scientists better understand the structure ...

Recent advances in the optical spectroscopy of trapped atoms and ions have led to a measurement precision that is without peer in science 1, heading towards a relative accuracy of parts per billion ...

March 11, 2026, marks 15 years since the Fukushima nuclear disaster happened in Japan. This major nuclear accident initially shook the international community of nuclear experts to its core. As ...

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 ...
