A research team from Chalmers University of Technology recently explored the process of nuclear fission in 100 nuclei and published its findings in Nature. With a thorough study that investigated ...

A five-dimensional model accurately predicts the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, advancing our understanding of nuclear fission beyond traditional heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium ...

Materials scientists at Stony Brook University in New York are developing increasingly resilient nuclear reactors designed to conduct fission and fusion reactions even under severe radiation and high ...

Two billion years before we made history and split the atom, the Earth had already accomplished it and was running its own nuclear reactors. And they operated for hundreds of thousands of years, as ...

Few manmade threats inspire as much fear as the potential of a nuclear meltdown. The fact that "Chernobyl," once an obscure Ukrainian town, is now globally recognized as a synonym for catastrophe ...
