New accelerators to ensure cutting edge European research in nuclear physics
09 December 2010
Europe is to get new particle accelerators and the current facilities at CERN, GSI and Ganil must be expanded and upgraded significantly over the next 10-15 years in order to continue to be leaders in nuclear research.
CERN observes melted nuclear matter for the first time
26 November 2010
Scientists from the Niels Bohr Institute take part in the ATLAS experiment, where new results show, that the constituents of nuclei can melt. This shows how we think the world looked around a billionth of a second after...
