The fuel rods of a nuclear reactor are now shining blue and red on the screens of iPads, iPhones and iPods. Researchers and students in the University of Utah's Nuclear Engineering Program are using ...
Hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs are both nuclear weapons that can cause mass destruction. Most US nuclear weapons today were made in the 1950s and 1960s and are H-bombs. H-bombs are more powerful, ...
"On paper, the engineering is solid." Scientists make incredible breakthroughs in pursuit of new-age nuclear power: 'People ...
Sensors have detected increased levels of neutrons in an inaccessible chamber at the Chernobyl site, signaling that nuclear fission reactions are taking place in the entombed reactor hall, Science ...
Late last week, Israel targeted three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities – Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, killing several Iranian nuclear scientists. The facilities are heavily fortified and largely ...
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden carried out nuclear fission reactions in 100 different types of exotic nuclei of elements like platinum, mercury, and lead in a bid to ...
Is nuclear power the world's best hope for slowing climate change—or a high-stakes gamble that risks radioactive disaster? What if it's both? As the world seeks cleaner energy sources, nuclear energy ...
There are some potentially valid criticism about the Nuclear Salt Water Rocket (NSWR). The criticisms highlight real physical constraints. A hydrogenous mixture will moderate neutrons, preventing a ...
Novel propulsion ideas for moving around space seem like they’re a dime a dozen recently. Besides the typical argument between solar sails and chemical propulsion lies a potential third way — a ...
A SUNY professor believes he discovered a way to make nuclear energy immensely safer and could prevent Manhattan from becoming the “next lost city of Atlantis.” Matthew Szydagis, 41, has spent the ...
Space missions in the future could travel to Mars, asteroids and the outer solar system by riding on nuclear-powered rockets, ...
