Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.

Target preparation techniques are fundamental to nuclear physics experiments as they provide the essential interface where high-energy reactions occur. Researchers employ a range of fabrication ...

In nuclear physics, scientists routinely use scintillating material to help identify the particles produced in experiments. When more radiation impacts the material, it will emit a bigger signal, ...

The goal of the Ionizing Radiation Division is to provide the foundation of ionizing radiation measurements for the nation through its mission to develop, maintain, and disseminate the national ...

As U.S. energy demand increases, advanced nuclear energy has emerged as an important option for 24/7 reliable electricity and heat generation. Nuclear engineers in national laboratories and private ...
