Using the advanced GALILEO Array coupled with the 4π Si-ball EUCLIDES, the researchers conducted in-depth spectroscopic analysis to track and identify the reactions. The gamma-gamma coincidence method ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Where do our elements come from? And how are they made? Dr. Michael Famiano's new research is flipping the script on those age-old nuclear astrophysics questions. The truth is out ...

Technicians check the contamination level in the reactors of the Angra II nuclear plant during the uranium refuel in Angra dos Reis, 200km from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2006. Monitoring the levels ...

One of the fundamental tenets of physics is that every action has a reaction. And Ohioans are learning that the actions behind a nuclear power plant bailout are leading to a political nuclear meltdown ...
