A simulation of a rapidly accreting white dwarf showing a proposed site for the intermediate (i) process and the Summing NaI (SuN) detector. The research studied the 139Ba+n reaction, constrained by ...
New experiments reveal possible η′-mesic nuclei, offering evidence that particle masses shift inside nuclear matter and shedding light on how mass originates from vacuum structure. Almost everything ...
On an October morning in 2023, a chemical explosion detonated in a tunnel under the Nevada desert was the launch of the next set of experiments by the National Nuclear Security Administration, with ...
Decades of weird experimental results appeared to support the existence of the sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that ...
Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter ...
A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...
The U.S. and China lead global efforts to make nuclear fusion commercially viable, with billion-dollar projects aiming for net-positive energy. Los Alamos scientists successfully recreated a 1938 ...
