The world’s largest nuclear power plant restarted Wednesday in north-central Japan for the first time since the 2011 ...

Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons.

The ore was recovered in the early 1970s and completely stumped scientists, until they realized it was evidence of something ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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

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 ...
