The simulated neutron energy correlations vary with angle. For the correlated events at near 90°, the energy of the second neutron tends toward lower values, whereas for the correlated events at near ...

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.

Nobody said building a fusion power plant would be easy. Physicists and engineers have been working for decades to crack the problem. But over the last year or so, fusion startup Zap Energy took a ...
