GRETA, the world’s most powerful gamma-ray detector, is ready to unlock new secrets about the structure and limits of atomic nuclei.

The deformations are caused by so-called electron-hole pairs. These are released electrons and their ‘gaps’ left behind in the atomic lattice. The oppositely charged pairs play an important role in ...

A relatively small detector caught neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a technique known as coherent scattering ...

The new documentary sheds light on the enduring scars of survivors of the atomic bombings of World War II.

Imagine having a super-powered lens that uncovers hidden secrets of ultra-thin materials used in our gadgets. Research led by University of Florida engineering professor Megan Butala enables a ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from ...

A new study in JAMA shows how proximity to Coldwater Creek, where nuclear waste from the Manhattan Project was improperly stored, affected cancer rates over the decades.

Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material's electronic or magnetic properties relate to its structure on the atomic scale. When using this technique, however, they ...

E. Tammy Kim reviews “Korean Nuclear Diaspora,” by Yuko Takahashi, a new ethnography of Korean survivors of the atomic-bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War.
