An international research team has achieved an important milestone for astrophysics at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt: In the CRYRING@ESR storage ring, scientists were able to measure nuclear reactions at ...

Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such as lead or bismuth, it is trillions of times stronger than Earth's field and ...

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. The study provides new ...

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 ...

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 ...

Harmony was in the air as the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy met last week to hear AEC’s new program to develop U.S. atomic power. After the long battles between Lewis Strauss and ...

Misconceived notions about AI-assisted analysis dramatically overlook the parallels between contemporary intelligence ...
