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. (Nanowerk News) ...

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 ...

Scientists have further developed a way of controlling nuclear fusion reactions, marking another forward step in the rush to achieve a clean, virtually limitless source of energy. Nuclear fusion ...

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 ...

On Tuesday, the head of the Department of Energy and other federal scientific leaders announced that a fusion reaction they ran at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California achieved net ...

A research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an efficient, stable, atomic-scale catalyst for carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. This ...

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 ...

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 ...
