Collective models have long provided an essential framework for understanding the behaviour of atomic nuclei by treating them as systems of interacting particles that can exhibit coherent, macroscopic ...

A five-dimensional (5D) Langevin approach developed by an international team of researchers, including members from Science Tokyo, accurately reproduces complex fission fragment distributions and ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

Scientists in the United States have used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the outcome of a nuclear fusion experiment with over 70 percent accuracy. Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore ...

On August 6, 1945, the sky above the Japanese city of Hiroshima opened. A blinding flash, then a deafening sonic boom. An entire city pulverized in seconds. Thus began the nuclear age. Today, 80 years ...

When it comes to alternative power sources, nuclear fusion is still a dream scenario. While using nuclear fusion to create commercial-scale energy has yet to be achieved, scientists say it could ...

Pioneering work Illustration of how a proton collision (left) at the Large Hadron Collider creates a beauty baryon (centre) that then decays into products that are detected by LHCb (right). (Courtesy: ...

Physicists have caught neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a device weighing just a few kilograms, orders of magnitude less massive than standard neutrino detectors. The technique opens new ways to ...
