The Sunbird concept is for the fusion-powered ‘tugs’ to be permanently based in space, able to dock with spacecraft and ...

Scientists have been building nuclear weapons for more than 80 years, but crafting this technology remains a challenge.

fission, the break-up of a nucleus, and fusion, the merging of nuclei. Nuclear physics models have traditionally struggled to unify descriptions of binding energies and charge radii across the ...

Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

In his Atomic series, artist James Stanford showcases "the spectacle and the horror" of growing up near a nuclear bomb ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...
