Poland has spent decades championing coal despite Europe’s increasingly urgent battle against climate change. Now, in a twist ...

What exactly would a Lizard Professor be? A lizard who happens to be a professor, or a professor specializing in the study of lizards? One day I’d like to know, but for now I’m just content to be ...

Nuclear power plants harness the energy of countless atoms of uranium splitting apart, or fissioning, in a chain reaction. Heavy water can help keep such a chain reaction going. As each uranium ...

University of Queensland scientists have cracked a long-standing puzzle in nuclear physics, showing that nuclear polarization ...

He's split in two… He’s always doing that. To understand why, you’ve got to think about what we’re all made from – atoms. Every atom contains a lot of energy. And there are certain kinds ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear ...

Experiments using muonic atoms have been hindered by uncertainty over how nuclear polarisation affects hyperfine structure, which is a small energy splitting within atoms. Nuclear polarisation ...
