It aims to attract data centers and other energy-intensive industries. Officials break ground on first-of-its-kind ...

Nuclear fission is a substantial part of the world’s energy mix, but out in the broader universe, fission is much harder to come by. Now, a new study from Los Alamos National Laboratory and North ...

This article honors Richard Lockshin, whose vision saw so deeply and so clearly into the mechanisms of what he coined ‘programmed cell death’ even without all the technological advances in microscopy ...

Deep Fission is seeking to power the AI revolution through nuclear energy. The company's CEO, Liz Muller, joins CNBC to discuss how their technology is reducing the cost of nuclear energy and scaling ...

Can we have our cake and eat it too? Can we have a non-thermal nuclear propulsion minimizing waste heat? * Yes. By making the fuel into dust. There is the original dusty fission fragment version.

The process of nuclear fission was first discovered in 1938; however, it wasn’t fully explained until a year later. Today – less than 100 years after its initial discovery – it is the poster child of ...

A single HMSR (Hybrid Fusion Fission Molten Salt Reactor) is designed to produce 5 GW thermal power at 700 C, thermal conversion systems should be able to generate 2.1 GW gross electricity. For ...

Fission is the process by which an atom splits into two, generating two smaller atoms and a tremendous amount of energy. Fission powers nuclear bombs and power plants. When you purchase through links ...

An analysis of 42 ancient stars in the Milky Way reveals the first hints of nuclear fission in the cosmos, hinting at the existence of elements far heavier than anything found naturally on Earth. When ...

Astronomers have detected the first-ever signs of nuclear fission happening in stars, a discovery that sheds light on how elements heavier than those found naturally on Earth form in the cosmos. Until ...
