It was an anomaly detected in the storm of a nuclear reactor so puzzling that physicists hoped it would shine a light on dark matter, one of the universe's greatest mysteries.
A large international collaboration led by Prof Shizhang Qiao, an Australian Laureate Fellow at the University of Adelaide has developed a straightforward and cost-effective synthesizing approach using a 3D printing technique ...
The word "exotic" may not spark thoughts of uranium, but Tyler Spano's investigations of exotic phases of uranium are bringing new knowledge to the nuclear nonproliferation industry.
If an underground explosion occurs anywhere in the world, there is a good chance that a seismologist can pinpoint it. However, they won't necessarily be able to tell you what kind of explosion had occurred—whether it is ...
Researchers in the US have finally fulfilled an objective that was set decades ago: the achievement of "ignition"—getting more energy out than you put in—using nuclear fusion.
The U.S. Department of Energy on Tuesday announced that a national lab in California made a "major scientific breakthrough"—namely, that it produced a nuclear fusion reaction that resulted in a net energy gain, a condition ...
US researchers have finally surpassed an important milestone for nuclear fusion technology: getting more energy out than was put in.
The Orion spacecraft on the Artemis I mission is carrying, as part of the MARE experiment, two human "phantoms" equipped with numerous cosmic rays detectors. The information gathered by the detectors will for the first time ...
Our society faces the grand challenge of providing sustainable, secure and affordable means of generating energy, while trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to net zero around 2050.
A new paper sheds light on the nature of atomic nuclei. The study is published in the journal Physical Review C.
