Graphite is a key structural component in some of the world's oldest nuclear reactors and many of the next-generation designs being built today. But it also condenses and swells in response to radiation—and the mechanism ...
The United States is rushing to put nuclear power reactors on the moon and Mars, and hopes to launch the first system by the end of the decade.
Nuclear reactors and spacecraft are exposed to high levels of radiation and high temperatures, so it's critical the metals they're made of are strong and stable.
For nearly a century, scientists around the world have been searching for dark matter—an invisible substance believed to make up about 80% of the universe's mass and needed to explain a variety of physical phenomena. Numerous ...
Chinese researchers have developed an innovative electrified catalysis strategy that removes more greenhouse gases than it generates, achieving net-negative emissions.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new and faster method for detecting and measuring the radioactivity of minuscule amounts of radioactive material. The innovative ...
What new methods can be developed in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI)? This is what a recent white paper submitted to the 2025 NASA Decadal Astrobiology Research and Exploration Strategy (DARES) Request ...
The first results of the ETH Zurich and ANSTO collaboration focused on silicon carbide (SiC) devices have been reported in two publications.
In a recent breakthrough, Dr. Huo Zhipeng and his student Chen Zuoyang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new class of PbWO4 filler-reinforced B4C/HDPE composites ...
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 kinetic energies in medium-mass ...
