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 ...

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 ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the universe. Understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus is crucial for ...

Critical moment: the 500 MW prototype fast-breeder reactor is located at Kalpakkam, about 70 km south of Chennai (courtesy: ...

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

Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy transitions in the nuclei of atoms and could become the most precise clock on ...

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

The initiation of a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction at the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor sees India move into the second stage of a three-stage nuclear programme which ultimately aims to ...
