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. (Nanowerk News) ...

Nuclear astrophysics is dedicated to unravelling the complex nuclear processes that govern stellar evolution, explosive cosmic events and the synthesis of elements throughout the Universe. Central to ...

Scientists have further developed a way of controlling nuclear fusion reactions, marking another forward step in the rush to achieve a clean, virtually limitless source of energy. Nuclear fusion ...

On Tuesday, the head of the Department of Energy and other federal scientific leaders announced that a fusion reaction they ran at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California achieved net ...

An advanced nuclear startup just achieved a milestone as it races to meet an ambitious Department of Energy goal. Founded just over two years ago in July 2023, El Segundo-based Valar Atomics announced ...

Researchers have used single carbon atom doping to form four chemical bonds in one step. Gamma-lactams (cyclic molecules that are common in antibiotics) were easily synthetically accessible from alpha ...

Like many Pakistanis, I am unsure of how to react to the proliferation scandal surrounding Abdul Qadeer Khan, the “father of the Islamic Bomb.” Khan admitted last week to providing nuclear technology ...

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 ...

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 ...
