Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful? It's time for our second to final Physics episode. So, let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does ...

That all changed on Feb. 11, 1939, with a letter to the editor of Nature – a premier international scientific journal – that described exactly how such a thing could occur and even named it fission.

In 1947, Kix cereal ran a promotion for an "Atomic Bomb Ring" that contained radioactive polonium-210, one of the deadliest radioactive substances known to man. The promotion was real — for 15 cents ...

Probabilistic fault displacement hazard analysis (PFDHA) is a relatively new methodology, and actual examples of applications are quite limited. The current publication provides an introduction to ...

AMES, Iowa – In these days of science-by-supercomputer, Iowa State University physicist Srimoyee Sen still prefers to go about her work with pen and paper. Her research is all about analyzing, ...

The largest fundamental science agency in Europe will partner with Michigan State University's Facility for Rare Isotope Beams to establish its only nuclear physics and astrophysics research lab in ...

David Jenkins is head of the nuclear-physics group at the University of York, UK. This post is part of a series on how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the personal and professional lives of ...

Mark your calendars to attend a pair of science lectures at Jack C. Davis Observatory in September. On Sept. 9, WNC physics professor Dr. Thomas Herring will lecture on “Nuclear Physics for Everyone,” ...

Radiation emergencies can occur anywhere, at any time and protecting the health and safety of the affected individuals is the first priority. How can people, including medical personnel, be assured ...

The promotion was real — for 15 cents and a Kix cereal box top, one could receive a ring containing polonium-210, the same deadly radioactive material used decades later to kill former Russian ...
