Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

A new computational method allows modern atomic models to learn from experimental thermodynamic data, according to a ...

Photoionization, the process by which an incident photon ejects an electron from an atom, lies at the heart of many atomic physics studies. Coupled with cross section measurements – which quantify the ...

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 ...

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists ...

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 ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector ...

Seventh-grader Aiden McMillan is in the running for a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion.

Safronova describes how quantum clocks work can act as new observatories for this invisible universe, searching for subtle drifts in their ticking that could signal dark matter, and testing gravity on ...

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 ...
