A nuclear engineer reacts to Neil deGrasse Tyson’s ideas about “moon power,” breaking down the science, feasibility, and what ...

The IAEA’s ‘Nuclear Explained’ series takes scientific and technical subjects related to nuclear topics and makes them easier to understand. Delve into our top explainers in 2024 to find out how ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

A collaboration between researchers in the US and Germany has made a major breakthrough in optical nuclear clocks, achieving laser-based excitation of Thoria-229 in a non-transparent host material.

But physicists have long dreamt of even better clocks that run on atomic nuclei, which are less sensitive to environmental ...
