Nearly 15 years after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, air radiation doses have dropped significantly in Fukushima Prefecture, ...

Nuclear decay and fusion dynamics constitute central pillars in modern nuclear physics, with implications ranging from energy production and astrophysical phenomena to the synthesis of novel elements.

Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the 'mirror' nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8. The weak nuclear force drives the process ...

Researchers from the High Energy Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan and ...

In this lesson, students will simulate the randomness of decay in radioactive atoms and visualize the half-life of a sample radioactive element. This lesson can be completed in two (2) 45-minute class ...

Researchers develop a method to count thorium-229 nuclear ticks, paving the way for high-precision nuclear clocks and sensors ...

In a new move linking nuclear science and cutting-edge healthcare, the UK is set to produce tens of thousands of doses of ...

Nuclear power wasn't the invention of a single genius mind, rather, it was the product of many of the greatest minds from the ...

During a nuclear stress test, you’ll be injected with a radioactive dye called a tracer. Some of this tracer will remain in your system for a time after the test. A nuclear stress test is a type of ...
