Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

Photoionization, the process by which an incident photon ejects an electron from an atom, lies at the heart of many atomic physics studies. Coupled with cross section measurements – which quantify the ...

Proton beams are not only used in sophisticated nuclear physics experiments. Today, they are becoming increasingly popular in ...

Radioactive decay is a fundamental process in nature by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. Studying nuclear decay modes is crucial for understanding properties of atomic ...

David Gross, a celebrated U.S. theoretical physicist, calls himself an optimist—especially concerning the future of his field ...

Vincenzo is an associate professor and the head of the Sustainable Optoelectronics Research Group at Simon Fraser University, Canada. His research focuses on printable semiconductors and their ...

Vladan Vuletić with members of his Experimental Atomic Physics group. From left to right: Matthew Radzihovsky, Leon Zaporski, Qi Liu, Vladan Vuletić, and Gustavo Velez. Every time you check the time ...

Andhra University celebrates its centenary. The life of Swami Jnanananda is being remembered. He renounced ordinary life for ...

Swami Jnanananda’s life traces a rare journey from years of meditation in the Himalayas to advanced research in nuclear ...

Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...

Nuclear weapons tests are among the most violent events humans can trigger, and that violence leaves fingerprints in the Earth, sea, air, and even in orbit. The physics of shock waves, sound, and ...
