Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for ...

The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the fundamental particles that make up the atoms that make ...

Larger stars with heavier cores make the heavier elements up to iron. The rest are forged by exploding supernovae or the death of largest stars. This topic will be relevant to GCSE Physics in ...

But to understand how things work in the real world, quantum mechanics must be combined with other elements of physics – principally, Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity ...

We regularly get queries about the minutiae of Nature Physics format, but what we really care about is that the papers are clear and accessibly written. So many papers deserve to be better written ...

An international research collaboration led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear Physics Group has overturned ... our understanding of how the heaviest elements are formed in the universe.

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...
