A team of nuclear physicists has pulled off something that, until recently, existed only in theoretical models and the ...

Scientists have just managed to reproduce a nuclear reaction that had never been observed directly before. The experiment ...

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, a nuclear reaction is a process in which two nuclei, or a nucleus and an external subatomic particle, collide to produce one or more new nuclides. Thus, a ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Scientists have further developed a way of controlling nuclear fusion reactions, marking another forward step in the rush ...

India’s most advanced reactor has set the country on a path towards potentially cutting its dependence on uranium.

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
