As if the U.S. grids weren’t stressed enough, AI data centers threaten to overwhelm them further with their massive energy ...

An international research team has achieved an important milestone for astrophysics at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt: In the ...

Passive cooling systems for nuclear power plants operate without pumps or electricity: They rely solely on physical effects ...

A simulation of a rapidly accreting white dwarf showing a proposed site for the intermediate (i) process and the Summing NaI (SuN) detector. The research studied the 139Ba+n reaction, constrained by ...

In his book “Atomowi. Nuclear Tests on Humans,” Dynowski describes how thousands of young troops were placed near atomic explosions during military experiments. The accounts, he says, reveal both ...

New guidance for private industry plus a new test bed facility are set to speed widespread nuclear energy development in microreactors.

A new experiment conducted at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) assessed the ability of U.S. nuclear weapons to survive encounters with adversary missile defenses and reach their targets. The ...

The figure illustrates the experimental setup used to measure neutron leakage spectra from natural lead (nat Pb) slab samples, employing both D-T and D-D neutron sources at the integral experiment ...

To be useful, clocks need to be consistent. Imagine two spies who synchronize their watches; they rely on them agreeing days or months later, even if one of them must take a frigid hike through arctic ...

Scientists have replicated a forgotten but crucial experiment that took place in 1938. The first-ever triton-deuterium (colloquially referred to as DT) fusion experiment that was accidentally ...
