New Zealand is one of only a few island nations that could continue to produce enough food to feed its population in a nuclear winter, researchers have found.
At the end of 2022, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced they had observed a net energy gain through nuclear fusion for the very first time. This monumental milestone toward fusion energy represents ...
In the coming years, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) will send two robotic missions to explore Jupiter's icy moon Europa. These are none other than NASA's Europa Clipper and the ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE), ...
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.
Scientists in the STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—an atom smasher at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory—have published a comprehensive analysis aimed at determining ...
Technology developed at Argonne can help narrow the field of candidates for molten salts, a new study demonstrates.
US researchers have finally surpassed an important milestone for nuclear fusion technology: getting more energy out than was put in.
The Department of Energy is planning an announcement Tuesday about a "major scientific breakthrough" at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, one of several sites worldwide where researchers have been trying to develop ...
In 1916, Einstein finished his theory of general relativity, which describes how gravitational forces alter the curvature of spacetime. Among other things, this theory predicted that the universe is expanding, which was confirmed ...
Heavy ion collisions at the highest energies have revealed a new phase of nuclear matter with freely moving quarks and gluons, the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). The Beam Energy Scan program at the RHIC particle accelerator, a ...
