Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered ...

In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei.

In this video, we explore the design and mechanics of Little Boy, breaking down how it worked, the science behind nuclear fission, and its profound implications on warfare and global politics.

They’ve either signed agreements to buy power from nuclear startups or invested in them directly — or both. Here are the nuclear fission startups backed by Big Tech. Kairos Power ...

California-based nuclear startup company Deep Fission, which is proposing to place microreactors deep underground, announced its emergence from stealth mode and a USD4 million pre-seed investment ...

A quick nuclear reactors 101: Fission is when uranium atoms are forced into an excited state in which they emit neutrons, striking other uranium atoms and causing them to do the same.

Fission and fusion are both nuclear reactions. But while one involves splitting atoms, the other involves fusing atoms together.

AI tech companies are building small nuclear fission plants to power their data centers. However, nuclear fusion is the real prize, and investment is pouring in.

What's New Oklo, the Sam Altman -backed nuclear fission startup, has signed an agreement with data-center operator Switch that the company says is the largest-ever corporate power deal.

More than 400 nuclear power reactors in operation around the world currently use nuclear fission technology. The majority of these nuclear power reactors in operation are light water reactors.

Deep Fission Inc., a pioneering nuclear energy company, today announced its emergence from stealth mode and a $4 million pre-seed round, led by 8VC. P ...
