We are pleased to announce the publication of the second issue of the international peer-reviewed journal Advances in Nuclear Science and Applications (Volume 1, No. 2), officially released on June 30, 2025. This edition presents cutting-edge research across nuclear theory, astrophysics, materials science, and environmental applications.

C.R. Das (JINR, Dubna) investigates axion signatures from strange quark stars, focusing on magnetar SGR 0501+4516. Using a three-flavor NJL model, the study predicts gamma-ray emissions from axion-photon conversions—potentially observable by Fermi-LAT and IXPE—offering a possible link between dark matter and astrophysical processes. DOI: 10.63907/ansa.v1i2.35.

Researchers from Kazakhstan's Institute of Nuclear Physics and LLP West Dala propose a thermochemical method for treating NORM-contaminated oil sludge. Radionuclides like 228Ra are immobilized in sulfate matrices, providing a safer disposal approach. DOI: 10.63907/ansa.v1i2.38.

S.M. Lukyanov and A.V. Shakhov (JINR) report on direct two-body mechanisms in light-ion reactions with ⁹Be, confirming the formation of short-lived unbound nuclei like 5He and 8Be. DOI: 10.63907/ansa.v1i2.36.

Mendibayev and Issatayev review the Borromean halo nucleus 11Li, summarizing key experiments and models in weakly bound nuclear systems. DOI: 10.63907/ansa.v1i2.37.

G. Musulmanbekov presents the Strongly Correlated Quark Model (SCQM), combining key QCD features and quark soliton dynamics. The model explains nuclear FCC symmetry and aligns with high-energy scattering data. DOI: 10.63907/ansa.v1i2.34

S. Isayeva, T. Mauyey, and colleagues study TiCN-based nanocoatings doped with Zr, Nb, and Si. Their results show enhanced oxidation resistance and thermal stability—ideal for nuclear and aerospace use. DOI: 10.63907/ansa.v1i2.33.

This issue reinforces the journal’s mission to promote impactful, interdisciplinary research in nuclear science. All articles are available open access on the journal’s official platform.
