The ore was recovered in the early 1970s and completely stumped scientists, until they realized it was evidence of something ...

The liquid-fueled molten salt reactors such as the MSRE and the TMSR-LF have distinguishing dynamic features compared with solid-fueled reactors, such that conventional system analysis codes are not ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, better known as the country’s “artificial sun,” has just done something fusion physicists long treated as impossible. By pushing plasma to ...

Could future fusion reactors also serve as laboratories in which to manufacture dark matter? That’s the provocative question behind a new theoretical study by University of Cincinnati physicist Jure ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Hadron Energy, Inc. (“Hadron”), a cutting-edge innovator in micro modular reactor (“MMR”) technology, today announced that an internationally recognized leader in computational reactor physics, ...

The PROSPECT-I detector in operation at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s High Flux Isotope Reactor. Designed to be as close to the reactor core as possible, this unique instrument performed precise ...

The central solenoid is the heart of a fusion reactor, and a "jacket" of meticulously crafted stainless steel—capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and magnetic fields—protects it. Chinese ...

The nuclear industry is pinning its hopes on small modular reactors to help meet climate targets, but as T V Padma reports, there are concerns over their commercial viability India has been involved ...

In an article published in 2002 in the journal Physics Letters B, my Ph.D. student Maurizio Piai (now Professor of Physics at Swansea University, Swansea, UK) and I proposed an experiment with reactor ...
