During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

A California-based lab has made the first experimental measurements of nuclear reactions in high-energy-density ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a single-atom photocatalytic strategy that enables ...

I agree 100% with the premise that nuclear power can serve our energy needs for the future. However, the use of thorium is a better choice for the smaller modular reactors. Thorium should be strongly ...

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 ...

What does the inside of a nuclear fusion reactor look like? "It looks like the future," Stuart White, head of communications at Tokamak Energy, told Newsweek. "A spaceship. It's extremely striking, ...

Long hailed as an impossibility, harnessing nuclear fusion to power homes, businesses, cars and even airplanes is now widely viewed by scientists and engineers as a very real prospect that would ...

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 ...
