Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies the constituents and interactions of atomic nuclei.
Scientists at CERN’s ISOLDE facility have helped confirm that Nickel-78 is doubly magic by examining its nuclear neighbour, copper-79
The first in our series to celebrate 50 years of physics at CERN’s oldest experiment, the ISOLDE facility
What is a target and how is it built? The second article in a series celebrating 50 years of physics at CERN’s longest running experimental facility
In the fourth part of our series, celebrating 50 years of physics at ISOLDE, we look at the almost-complete HIE-ISOLDE upgrade
For the final part of our series celebrating 50 years of physics at ISOLDE, we see what impact research at ISOLDE can have on society
Young Scientist Prize, granted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics awarded to researchers for work at CERN’s ISOLDE
Installation of the second cryomodule at HIE-ISOLDE means unique, upgraded machine is now ready to take physics measurements at higher energies
The first acceleration module of HIE-ISOLDE has been installed. The new accelerator will increase the energy of CERN’s nuclear physics facility
In July 1913, Niels Bohr published the first of a series of three papers introducing his model of the atom
