A team of researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration rediscovered the scuttled U.S.S. Independence, determining the radiation risk of exploring the underwater aircraft…
Since nuclear power plants emit no carbon dioxide, they are considered an important component for a greener energy future. A new nuclear power plant promises…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics conducted initial experiments in the Cryogenic Storage Ring. The Cryogenic Storage Ring can reproduce the chemical…
MIT researchers detail how a floating nuclear power plant design could provide enhanced safety – it would be unaffected by the motions of a tsunami…
Using attosecond-timed laser flashes, a team of physicists has become the first to image and control the motion of the two electrons in a helium…
Nuclear scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Lab have made the most precise extraction to date of a key property of…
Idaho State University researchers have created uranium crystals by crushing nuclear fuel pellets and heating them in a furnace. This will allow scientists to be…
In a project funded through NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts Program, researchers from University of Washington and MSNW are calculating the potential for expeditions to Mars…
A new study details how scientists developed the conceptual nuclear reactor design of high plutonium breeding by light water cooling, which may help advanced countries…
Underground nuclear tests can be detected in the skies and as a result, global satellite networks could become a powerful tool in order to detect…
Researchers at NASA’s Glenn Research Center and Los Alamos National Laboratory have tested a small prototype of a nuclear-reactor engine design, which could power deep…
Researchers presented their findings at the Fukushima Symposium conference on the 12th and 13th of November at the University of Tokyo on the radioactivity that…
The world’s most powerful laser ignition facility is set to emphasize its nuclear weapons research after unsuccessfully campaigning to demonstrate the principles of a fusion…
Based on new calculations from scientists at the Max Planck Institute, the likelihood of a nuclear accident is far greater than previously thought. The research…
While exposure to low-dose-rate radiation from cosmic radiation and natural radioactive isotopes in the environment is part of everyday life, a new study from MIT…
It was previously thought that making a lens out of highly energetic light, gamma rays, was impossible. Physicists have created such a lens and think…
Scientists are proposing the building of a hyper-accurate nuclear clock that would lose only one-tenth of a second over 14 billion years, the current age…
A newly proposed nuclear clock would be nearly 100 times more accurate than the best atomic clocks we have now, would be accurate to 19…
