For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

Advanced nuclear technology firm Oklo is partnering with Texas-based prime and backup solutions company RPower to roll out an innovative “phased energy model” that will combine natural gas and nuclear ...

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

Matt Korda, the associate director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, assisted USA TODAY in identifying 50 silos near Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana, that ...
