Nuclear fusion, the process that powers every star in the observable universe, has moved from theoretical physics into the realm of real laboratory results. On December 5, 2022, scientists achieved ...

A research team from Chalmers University of Technology recently explored the process of nuclear fission in 100 nuclei and published its findings in Nature. With a thorough study that investigated ...

The discovery of nuclear fission is one of the most profound scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century, reshaping physics, unlocking the power of the atomic nucleus, and setting the stage for both ...

The IAEA’s ‘Nuclear Explained’ series takes scientific and technical subjects related to nuclear topics and makes them easier to understand. Delve into our top explainers in 2024 to find out how ...

This relatively long transit time is a result of the use of traditional chemical rocket fuel. An alternative technology to the chemically propelled rockets the agency develops now is called nuclear ...

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

Fusion’s Next Challenge Is Not Just TechnicalFusion energy promises a future with virtually unlimited energy, generated without any pollution.This is because, contrary to classical nuclear energy, ...

At Deep Fission, we’re taking a radically different approach to nuclear energy: smaller, safer, faster to deploy—and located a mile underground. By placing reactors deep beneath the Earth’s surface, ...

Globally, nuclear power accounts for roughly 10% of electricity generation. In some countries, such as France, this figure is nearly 70%. Big tech companies such as Google are also turning to nuclear ...
