An international team of researchers has developed a unique modeling system that could contribute to the future of nuclear ...

Why is nuclear fusion so important? Nuclear fission produces radioactive waste, which can be dangerous and must be stored safely - potentially for hundreds of years.

Why does the government want the UK to use more nuclear power? In November 2024, the UK and 30 other countries signed a global pledge to triple their nuclear capacity by 2050.

Nuclear power has advantages and disadvantages, but what is a nuclear reaction, how does it produce electricity?

With innovation of nuclear fusion and fission, we are entering the dawn of a new era of harnessing unlimited clean energy to use safely.

Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that ...

Nuclear fusion is often described as the "Holy Grail" of energy. But what exactly is it, and why does it generate so much excitement among scientists and engineers? Nuclear fusion is a process by ...

The U.S. Department of Energy just announced a breakthrough in ongoing research for nuclear fusion, long heralded for its potential as a source of zero-emissions and essentially limitless energy.

Creating this initial fusion reaction—and, most crucially, sustaining it—has been the work of nuclear physicists around the world for nearly a century.
