Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A ...

Formic acid is classified as a molecule with all of its atoms arranged in a single plane. A Goethe University research team, in collaboration with cooperation partners, has now experimentally proved ...

Idaho National Laboratory researchers have demonstrated a surrogate reactor concept that replaces neutron-driven signals with beams of LED light, creating a zero-radiation test environment for reactor ...

Radiation can wreak havoc on the human body when it's exposed to high doses or for prolonged periods of time. The world understood this in horrifying detail after the Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi ...

An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team of experts has commended Ghana for its commitment to the continuous improvement of nuclear and radiation safety as the country advances its plans to ...
