Thermonuclear reaction rates power the models that explain how stars live, explode and create the elements. A new study co-authored by NC State faculty member Richard Longland provides a comprehensive ...

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. (Nanowerk News) ...

Nuclear astrophysics is dedicated to unravelling the complex nuclear processes that govern stellar evolution, explosive cosmic events and the synthesis of elements throughout the Universe. Central to ...

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, a nuclear reaction is a process in which two nuclei, or a nucleus and an external subatomic particle, collide to produce one or more new nuclides. Thus, a ...
