A research team linked nearby stellar explosions to at least one, possibly two, mass die-offs after calculating the supernova ...

The trailblazing Harvard scientist, who documented the dominance of hydrogen and helium in stars, is still inspiring ...

Using TRIUMF’s advanced radioactive ion beam technology, the team accelerated short-lived strontium-94 isotopes into these targets, allowing them to measure the nuclear reaction under conditions ...

“It’s a lot more feasible to think that this could be an effect that could affect extinction events,” said Wright, a lecturer in physics and astrophysics and Ernest Rutherford Fellow at ...

We are now in the middle of the second wave of quantum capabilities, which heralds quantum computing, enhanced sensing ...

Atomic nuclei with “magic numbers” of protons or neutrons in their nuclear shells are extremely stable. Nuclear physicists are especially interested in nuclei with doubly magic numbers—those that have ...

Among the first Fellows for 2025 is Professor Arla Day, a specialist in Industrial and Organisational Psychology from Saint ...

Then, in 1911, came Ernest Rutherford’s discovery that atoms contain a central ‘nucleus’ of densely packed positive charge. How quantum mechanics emerged in a few revolutionary months 100 ...
