Here’s how a nuclear bomb actually works. The B61 and the B83 nuclear bombs currently in the United States’ arsenal are thermonuclear, or hydrogen bombs, and quite different than the fission weapons ...

Physicists confirm DT fusion insights from a 1938 experiment. The findings connect past theory with current fusion efforts. A team at Los Alamos National Laboratory has successfully recreated a signif ...

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.

A five-dimensional (5D) Langevin approach developed by an international team of researchers, including members from Science Tokyo, accurately reproduces complex fission fragment distributions and ...

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 ...

Deep Fission’s decision to join the suit reflects its firm belief in rigorous nuclear regulation – and its equally strong conviction that the current system is misaligned with today’s ...

Deep Fission Inc. (Deep Fission), the pioneering nuclear energy startup revolutionizing the industry by placing reactors a mile underground, and Deep Isolation, a leader in deep borehole nuclear ...

Nuclear fission, conversely, produces energy by splitting heavy nuclei into other nuclei, producing energy and waste in the process.

While nuclear fission has proven to be much easier to achieve and control, nuclear fusion is seen as the “holy grail” of clean energy, as it doesn’t require any radioactive fuel and produces ...

Nuclear energy is among the most powerful energy sources in the world, but it's also one of the most controversial. At ExtremeTech, we'll show you how it works without bias.

The Washington-based nuclear fusion startup just landed a whopping $425 million in a series F round of funding that CFO Pragav Jain says is expected to fund the company through the targeted 2028 ...
