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…
Researchers at U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne and Thomas Jefferson National Laboratories have demonstrated that a quarter of the nucleons in a dense nucleus exceed…
A MIT research team published new findings on their analysis of condensation mechanisms. By using nanopatterned surfaces, the researcher offers new insights into how…
A nationwide study released today showed that fallout from the 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power facility in Japan was measured in minimal amounts in precipitation…
Researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory designed a new small reactor cooled by lead that has several key safety features. The Sustainable Proliferation-resistance Enhanced Refined…
While it’s far from conclusive, an analysis of radioisotope data indicates that North Korea may have conducted two nuclear weapons tests in 2010. The claim…
