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 a first, U.S. scientists have created “net energy” through a nuclear fusion reaction, the Department of Energy announced Tuesday. The successful experiment, which took place Dec. 5 at Lawrence ...
Scientists replicated their breakthrough December 2022 nuclear fusion experiment. But this time, they produced even more energy from the experiment than the first time. These experiments are history ...
An international collaboration of scientists working with the FAIR Phase 0 program at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany, has made an unexpected discovery of a ...
Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms ...
Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive waste as a by-product. Now, researchers say they may have ...
Nuclear fission is a powerful phenomenon. When the conditions are right, atomic nuclei split, releasing neutrons that then split other nuclei in an ongoing chain reaction that releases enormous ...
