Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons.

Abstract: Plastic scintillators are widely used in radiation portal monitors because of their low cost and availability in large sizes. However, due to their low density and low effective atomic ...

Black Ops 6 Season 5 offered a boatload of content at launch, from new weapons like the ABR A1 to the arrival of 6v6 maps like W.M.D. and Exchange. However, the Reckoning may be the biggest addition ...

(Corrections & Clarifications: This story previously misstated how far nuclear fallout from the government's atomic tests reached. Fallout from the initial Trinity Test reached 46 of the 48 contiguous ...

A pivotal scene in the explosive hit biopic and Best Picture winner, "Oppenheimer," involves America's top scientists discussing whether or not to develop an even more potent nuclear weapon — the ...

Since the groundbreaking discovery of graphene in 2004, the dizzying pace of progress in two-dimensional (2D) materials has ushered in a new era of fundamental research and technological innovation.

Scientists have long been keen to develop atomically thin 2D metals, thereby expanding the 2D material family beyond vdW layered structures. These ultrathin 2D metals would also enable the exploration ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to reproduce ...

Dubbed one of the "10 most dangerous toys of all time," a miniature atomic energy lab is said to have been a widely sought-after children's toy in the 1950s – and it reportedly included four small ...

While significant chemical and nuclear weapons agreements contain verification provisions, the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) does not. World governments have not discussed this topic within ...
