A multimillion-dollar government project is betting that particle accelerators can "burn" through the world's most dangerous ...

Aiden McMillan, a 12-year-old student in Dallas, Texas, has built a home nuclear fusion device and is seeking a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to do so.

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Using the advanced GALILEO Array coupled with the 4π Si-ball EUCLIDES, the researchers conducted in-depth spectroscopic analysis to track and identify the reactions. The gamma-gamma coincidence method ...

Long hailed as an impossibility, harnessing nuclear fusion to power homes, businesses, cars and even airplanes is now widely viewed by scientists and engineers as a very real prospect that would ...

Dr. Arati Prabhakar, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), called the nuclear fusion breakthrough an "engineering marvel." Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National ...

In a world first, the US Department of Defense (aka the Department of War) airlifted a complete 5-MW nuclear reactor using a C-17 Globemaster III transport from March Air Reserve Base, California to ...

The Pentagon and the Energy Department have airlifted a small nuclear reactor from California to Utah, demonstrating what ...

I was very disappointed to see the editorial supporting development of new or reenergized nuclear power plants (Nov. 18, 2024, page 2). Whatever happened to concerns about safely storing ...
