Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. (Nanowerk News) ...

Nuclear reactions as a research area encompass the experimental and theoretical study of processes in which atomic nuclei interact and transform, including fusion, fission, scattering, and transfer ...

Using the advanced GALILEO Array coupled with the 4π Si-ball EUCLIDES, the researchers conducted in-depth spectroscopic analysis to track and identify the reactions. The gamma-gamma coincidence method ...

Scientists have further developed a way of controlling nuclear fusion reactions, marking another forward step in the rush to achieve a clean, virtually limitless source of energy. Nuclear fusion ...

The Chernobyl nuclear accident has become part of pop-culture history, the subject of numerous books and an acclaimed 2019 HBO miniseries. But the 35-year-old disaster isn’t entirely in the past.

In a secluded laboratory buried under a mountain in Italy, physicists have re-created a nuclear reaction that happened between two and three minutes after the Big Bang. Their measurement of the ...
