Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than ...

Man-made nuclear fission reactors work by carefully controlling a chain reaction where uranium-235 atoms are split by neutrons, releasing energy and more neutrons, which go on to split additional ...

The world’s largest and most powerful superconducting electromagnet is ready to become the pulsing “heart” inside of a ...

The A-Bomb wasn't just tested by the U.S., as it was infamously used twice against an enemy combatant — the only times to date that nuclear weapons have been used in war — when it was dropped over the ...

HB11 Energy says Australia is the only major western country that doesn’t have a nuclear fusion strategy right now.

The dream of humanity to imitate the forces that created their habitat has been alive for at least as far back as the time ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

In the GSI/FAIR experimental setup R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive ... This marks the discovery of a new "island of asymmetric fission" in the nuclear chart, characterized by a ...
