In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have performed the first global simulations of monster shocks ...

Nuclear propulsion and power technologies could unlock new frontiers in missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA has reached an important milestone advancing nuclear propulsion that could benefit ...

A team of physicists has discovered a surprisingly simple way to build nuclear clocks using tiny amounts of rare thorium. By electroplating thorium onto steel, they achieved the same results as years ...

Nuclear power plants can provide a continuous and reliable supply of energy because they operate at full capacity nearly uninterrupted. This contrasts with variable renewable energy sources, such as ...

From strengthening safeguards and helping countries build resilient nuclear fuel supply chains to enhancing radiation protection for patients, 2026 will be an eventful year for the IAEA and its global ...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaboration has made the first measurements of the quantum properties of a family of three “all-charm” tetraquarks that was recently discovered at the Large Hadron ...

Nuclear forensics is the examination and evaluation of discovered or seized nuclear materials and devices or, in cases of nuclear explosions or radiological dispersals, of detonation signals and ...

China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion milestone and potentially bringing humanity closer to wielding near-limitless clean ...

Researchers working on China’s ‘artificial sun’ have reported breaking a long-accepted threshold that has limited the operation of nuclear fusion reactors for decades. China’s Experimental Advanced ...

Fireplaces are cozy until it’s time to shovel out the ashes. Nuclear power has the same problem: abundant, reliable energy paired with a growing pile of difficult-to-discard spent fuel. But a new ...

SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - The world’s first nuclear device detonation on July 16, 1945, over New Mexico had consequences that extend far beyond warfare, affecting steel production and scientific ...

Keeping U.S. nuclear weapons out of the hands of adversaries is essential for national security. On request of Congress, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) asked the National ...
