U.S. scientists are developing an innovation that could reduce nuclear waste storage time by 99.7%, transmuting long-lived radioactive materials into shorter-lived isotopes.

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

The U.S. Department of Energy is betting $40 million that particle accelerators can crack one of nuclear power’s oldest problems: what to do with spent fuel that stays dangerously radioactive for ...

Indore: Advanced research cannot remain confined to laboratories but must reach industry and contribute to national development, said former chairman .

The Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology(RRCAT), one of India’s premier scientific institutions in the field of lasers, particle accelerators and cryogenics, is set to launch an ambitious ...

Something genuinely strange has just happened in fundamental physics: an underground neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean ...

Particle accelerators have many applications in medicine, industry and research. These machines accelerate charged particles, such as electrons and protons, to high speeds, sometimes even close to the ...

For a mere moment after the Big Bang, no neutrons or protons are thought to have existed. These neutral and positively charged particles, respectively, make up the center of all atoms today. But ...

The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. As part of an effort to bring the study of space radiation in-house, SpaceX is now developing its own particle accelerator in ...

Following a major fire at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research, the planned particle accelerator FAIR cannot be tested as planned starting in December. This was announced by Hessian ...
