For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based directly on the interactions between their protons and neutrons. Published in ...

Scientists conduct the first direct probes of the interactions between protons and neutrons inside nuclei. The strong force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, along with gravity, ...

Researchers study neutron star crusts by simulating neutron matter then adding “hidden” neutrons to mediate interactions between “real” neutrons. Next, neural networks construct a quantum wave ...

Hard to believe you can play pool with neutrinos, but certain neutrino interaction events are closer to the game than you think. In these charged-current quasielastic interactions—CCQE interactions, ...

A new study identifies a transition in the strong nuclear force that illuminates the structure of a neutron star's core. Most ordinary matter is held together by an invisible subatomic glue known as ...

A newly analyzed gravitational-wave event has revealed something unexpected about one of the Universe’s most violent ...

Mysterious forces may be a reliable trope in science fiction, but in reality, physicists have long agreed that all interactions between objects evidently arise from just four fundamental forces. Yet ...
