When most people hear the word uranium, they think of mushroom clouds, Cold War standoffs or the glowing green rods from science fiction. But uranium isn’t just fuel for apocalyptic fears. It’s also a ...

Innovative small modular reactors, floating nuclear plants, and microreactors offer potential routes to decarbonization that many countries are embracing. However, these emerging technologies elevate ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? Researchers report on experiments to come closer to an answer. They gained insight ...

Many advances in technology spring from the mind of a single genius, but others, like nuclear power, are the product of many minds over generations.

Three major nuclear reactor accidents—Three Mile Island (1979 in the United States), Chernobyl (1986 in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union), and Fukushima Dai-ichi (2011 in Japan)—significantly ...

Abstract: I believe nuclear energy is poised for a vital resurgence. Amid rising global temperatures, surging data center demand, and bipartisan support for innovation, now is the time to double down ...

Scaling up nuclear power to the level needed to achieve net zero is a significant and multifaceted undertaking, and while many reactor types may play a role, large reactors are set to lead the way.

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? An international research team reports on experiments performed at the GSI/FAIR ...
