with a larger number of nuclear powers increasing the chance of either intentional or accidental use of atomic weapons—if not World War III. "Many of the countries that earlier decided to forego ...

A key part of the theory behind a successful nuclear deterrent has fallen away. This is described in game theory – the mathematical study of strategic interactions – as the idea of a ...

Researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that holds it together. This ...
