For more than 40 years, a subatomic mystery has puzzled scientists: Why do the fragments of splitting atomic nuclei emerge spinning from the wreckage? Now researchers find these perplexing gyrations ...

Suppression of a telltale sign of quark-gluon interactions indicates gluon recombination in dense walls of gluons. Previous experiments have shown that when ions are accelerated to high energies, ...

Nuclear energy is touted as one of the cleaner energy solutions to meet the world’s decarbonization goals. Nuclear energy can be produced by two processes: splitting nuclei (fission) or fusing them ...
